Abstract

The Typannot project aims at creating a complete typographic system to transcribe all sign language parameters. If handshapes have been widely studied by the linguistic community, the same is not true for mouth actions. Today research on mouth actions is still scarce in comparison with other parameters, yet the mouth carries extensive meaningful linguistic information. In this article, we will introduce our work to set up a comprehensive typographic system for mouth actions. After setting the context, we will present our goals, approach and methodology to structure the typographic system as well as explain our processes to design the typeface.
