Metro Glyphs is a flexible system of glyphs aimed at improving communication amongst hypothetical nuclear apocalypse survivors. 

The task for this project was to create a language system based on a dystopia 50 years in the future. The question we had to ask ourselves was how will communication and language change based on current conditions and factors in 2024, out of the year 2074? To do this we thought about how language has changed in look, sound, and feel because of our scenario. This leads us to our unfortunate future 50 years from now: nuclear war.
