Abstract:
This
thesis
proposes
that
a
new
set
of
typographic
elements
needs
to
be
developed
that
extends
our
written
vocabulary,
complementing
and
improving
the
communication
opportunities
that
technology—and
its
increasingly
text-‐based
forms
of
interactions—
offers.
Voice-‐less
and
face-‐less
interactions
create
enormous
challenges
when
expressing
and
interpreting
meaning
and
intent.
A
viable
system
of
new
punctuation
that
supports
brevity
and
clarity
can
be
developed
utilizing
existing
typographic
glyphs,
making
implementation
of
new
marks
convenient
and
immediate.
Unlike
emoticons,
smilies,
and
acronyms,
new
punctuation
marks
will
have
the
advantage
of
being
appropriate
for
all
personal
and
professional
dialogs.
