This is an interactive map of world writing systems (signs). You can trigger animations to reveal layers of typography for different scripts. For fun, signs spread around the world from their home origin or randomly as you choose. You can turn on the sound to hear harmonic tones as signs expand or shrink. You can even listen to Ode to Joy, while signs perform a show. The map is based on the scripts' historical and modern origins, but the animations are purely artistic and not meant to be historically accurate.
