Colour alphabet for digital drawings & installations

Together with linguist Dr Oliver Herbst, in 2022 I set out to find another, more specific alphabet based on the linguistic sounds of the German language, in addition to the written letters of the Latin alphabet. The sound of each letter is further diversified by the variety of vowels and consonants, offering a wide range of colour values. For the time being, the alphabet focuses on all consonants: each sound, as it is formed linguistically in the mouth, nose and throat, corresponds to a specific colour tone.
