Georgian

The Georgian alphabet has a distinctive look, when comparing it to neighbouring scripts, however, based on the structure it most probably originated from Greek. The order of the letters is the same for the two, and the typical Georgian sounds are added at the end. Georgian scripts were granted the national status of intangible cultural heritage in Georgia in 2015. In recent years in Georgia typography, as well as other areas of communication design, has been developing at a fast pace and underwent massive changes. Zango Studio designed this stickersheet to promote a revival of typographic use of the alphabet. In 2023, Typotheque published New Georgian Type, showcasing their type collection and posters, and presented the historical perspective into Georgian script, printing and typography, with an essay by Sophia Kintsarushvili.
