Solar Systems
"Solar Symbols disseminate the characters in a pattern-based writing system. Completed in 2016, this collection of 2000 patterns draws meaning from Latin, English and pattern theory while keeping the patterns embedded in their written form. It asserts itself as a writing system, not a language."

The mark’s foundation is from the two “S’s. The line is originated from the middle portion of the letter “S”. At first it was thicker and bolder, from slicing it off the chosen typeface. I realized that the mark needed to be something lighter and more expressive. Through sketching I created the same line that was made with the intention of more lightweight and seamless. With this line I duplicated it and placed it right underneath the first one forming them to intersect creating a band-like form, similar to jewelry.
