{Typographical expression of emotions in a variety of alphabet systems}
{Jennifer Claudio}
{Contemporary writing often uses stylistic elements to emphasize words, and
in a world of social medias and text messaging, it has potentially become
easier to change the shapes or capitalization of a letter rather than using
an alternative word with strength of connotation. This convenience lends
itself to the nature of the Latin alphabet (or other alphabets with
distinct capitalization), but is not a method that occurs in alphabet
systems without capital letters. This presentation explores the use of a
variety of type attributes including color, typeface, and size which are
used to convey emotional charge in a selection of languages including
English, Cyrillic, Korean, Arabic, Bangla, as well as the typographic
advantages and drawbacks therein.}
