Partial map Hildegard von Bingen Lingua Ignota

The Palace of Typographic Masonry is an (imaginary) institute for the splendour and variety of visual languages. One of the earliest invented languages, Lingua Ignota’s purpose was unclear, but speculations include a secret cipher and a universal language. What’s certain is that Hildegard von Bingen is its author. Edgar Walthert created a contemporary sans-serif revival of Litterae Ignotae, one following the characteristics of his typeface Logical, and used it on the first partial sheet map of The Annex of Universal Languages, housing the graphic languages in pursuit of universal systems; including utopian alphabets, iconic sign languages and ideographic systems)
