The Dead Words is a project started by Karen To that celebrates “Dead Words.” They have been omitted from the dictionary and people barely use them, but she is bringing them back to life. Typography and graphics are used in interesting ways to educate the masses on the meaning of these “dead words.” Enjoy other DEAD WORDS projects HERE
