The Visual Dictionary
Of the thousands of entries gathered by The Visual Dictionary in its one year and two months of existence, "stop" flares up the most. "Exit" beats a hasty path to #2. "Fire," "love," and "the" follow. The dictionary, which, as its creator acknowledges, is really more of a "lexography" than anything else, serves as a kind of typographers' dream collection. Here, words of all sizes and shapes guide, promote, advertise, explain, warn, woo, and linger. They light up, establish authority, and melt away. They are "words in the real world"—and we like them that way, raw and natural. Browse recent submissions, check out the editor's selection, jump in randomly, or move methodically from A to Z. If you're inclined, you can register and contribute. You never know what kind of letter love may come back to you.
