Fictional Script Design

I design original alphabets, runes, and symbolic writing systems for fantasy and science fiction worlds, creating believable visual languages that support world-building, narrative depth, and immersive environments.

Summary

Fictional script design creates written languages that feel authentic within imagined worlds.

I design original alphabets, runes, and symbolic writing systems for fantasy and science fiction settings, informed by real historical scripts, calligraphy, and typographic structure. These systems are developed to feel culturally grounded, internally consistent, and visually alive rather than decorative.

This work supports games, films, entertainment franchises, and narrative-driven projects that require immersive world-building and believable written language across environments, props, branding, and visual storytelling.

Service Overview

I design original alphabets, runes, and symbolic writing systems for fantasy and science fiction worlds. Each script begins with expressive energy — rhythm, motion, and cultural identity — and is developed into a coherent system that feels as though it could truly exist.

The goal is visual authenticity. These scripts are not decorative marks, but structured writing systems informed by real linguistic principles, calligraphy, and typographic form. The result is writing that feels alive — imaginative, believable, and grounded in the logic of its world.

Worldbuilding Through Form

Written language carries history. Letterforms reveal culture, technology, belief systems, and temperament. I design scripts to reflect these traits directly through form.

Whether refined and ceremonial, mechanical and precise, monastic and restrained, or alien and abstract, each system emerges from the internal logic of the world it belongs to rather than surface aesthetics.

Systemic Design, Not Decoration

Each fictional script is developed as a system rather than a collection of symbols. This includes consistent stroke logic, repeatable construction rules, proportional balance, and visual rhythm.

The intent is to create writing that can be expanded, reused, and applied across environments without breaking internal coherence — suitable for long-term production use rather than one-off imagery.

Applications

  • Games and entertainment franchises requiring immersive written languages
  • Film and cinematic universes needing believable signage, props, or artifacts
  • Environmental graphics and world-building assets
  • Fictional branding for in-universe organizations or cultures
  • Artwork, posters, and experimental typographic pieces seeking narrative depth

Deliverables

All fictional script systems are delivered as clean, professional vector files, fully scalable to any resolution, along with transparent raster exports for immediate use in print or digital media.

Each project may include a complete alphabet, partial symbol set, or modular writing system depending on production needs, with structures designed to support future expansion and reuse.

Colors in the Sky

Colors in the Sky is my visual arts and design studio — the umbrella for my work across art, design, layout, and modern presentation, including the growing convergence of visual culture and technology.I’ve worked extensively with top-tier museums and galleries across the United States, contributing to projects involving artists such as Mary Cassatt, John Singer Sargent, and Pablo Picasso. My production experience includes over 10,000 pages of book and exhibition layouts for leading publishers, distributed internationally.

Alongside this institutional work, I maintain a hands-on practice as an illustrator and concept artist, and as a web developer delivering close to one hundred professional websites for businesses, cultural organizations, and public institutions. The studio reflects a commitment to visual clarity, production rigor, and designs that hold up under real-world constraints.
