More Information
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, Harvard University, and Université Paris Sciences et Lettres, have designed a gaming applet where players compete to classify the letter shapes of the world’s writing systems. Researchers will better understand how letter shapes evolve to be distinctive and informative thanks to this crowdsourced typology.
