Gàidhlig Schoolbook
Gàidhlig Schoolbook is type exploration of the history of language in Scotland.
In 1872, the Education Act brought in legislation that changed the primary language of education in Scotland to English; despite the fact most people in Scotland spoke Gàidhlig as their first language. Speaking Gàidhlig in school was worthy of punishment due to this legislation, but the attitude towards Gàidhlig in education carried on way into the 1900s.
Gàidhlig Schoolbook is a rendition of the typeface Century Schoolbook, a typeface used in education around the 1900s. Gàidhlig Schoolbook aims to reappropriate Century Schoolbook to suit the Gàidhlig alphabet, a comment against the homogenisation of language.
