“Letterographia” research develops syntactic and logical ideograms using a sign traceable to a minimal human figure. Each elaboration of the Lettero ideogram expresses an abstract concept, explicated by an archetypal Greek or Latin term from the “Eurographia” code.
Lettero Graphia. 2004
Lettero is an essential geometric figure composed of a triangle and a circle, a primordial grapheme found in primitive paintings on every continent, from America to India, from Europe to China. Lettero’s radical essentiality makes it capable of expressing the most abstract logical functions. Like the mathematical signs, +,-, /, %, Lettero is a potentially universal sign, free from connection to different languages, but its representational possibilities are much greater because of the intuitive significance that the logical connection takes on once drawn in the figure. Research on Lettero was published in 1986 in Chip, an Italian computer science journal, in an innovative article that proposed an iconic translation of the Basic programming language.
