THESIS. A visual language is a vocabulary plus grammar. Defining the rules between symbols makes new ones feel native the moment they are drawn.
STATUSOBSERVING
01METHOD / OBJECTIVE
- Catalogue every symbol and glyph in use.
- Extract the grid, stroke and angle rules they share.
- Draw new symbols from the rules and test recognition.

04LAB LOG
- 09.07.2509:05Symbol inventory opened.
- 09.07.2511:40212 symbols catalogued.
- 10.07.2510:15Six core rules extracted.
- 10.07.2514:55New symbol set drafted.
- 11.07.2509:30Recognition study started.
05FINDINGS
- 01Six rules describe almost the whole existing vocabulary.
- 02A shared diagonal angle carries the brand across symbols.
- 03New symbols built from rules test as native.
- 04Spacing rhythm matters as much as shape.
