Site Language English Author Bradbury Thompson Script Type Alphabet Description Alphabet 26 is Bradbury Thompson's radical proposal for the redesign of the alphabet... The plan for simplifying and improving our alphabet, entitled 'Alphabet 26,' was first presented in Westvaco Inspirations 180 in 1950. It recommended the use of only one symbol for each of the 26 letters. Our conventional alphabet contains 19 letters having dissimilar upper and lower case symbols (such as 'A' and 'a') and 7 letters (c-o-s-v-w-x-z) having symbols that are identical. It is misleading for a letter, or for any graphic symbol, to have two different designs. Confusion might set in when school children are taught to recognize words even before they have learned to recognize different symbols for the same letter. To remedy this, Alphabet 26, a plan based upon the logic of consistency, proposed that of the 19 letters that have dissimilar symbols 15 letters should use the uppercase designs [black letters below] and 4 letters should use the lowercase designs ! [green letters]. The other 7 letters already have identical symbols [blue letters]. Alphabet 26 provides the necessary large letters for emphasis at the beginning of the sentence and for denoting proper nouns, an advantage over the exclusive use of an all lowercase alphabet, as recommended at the Bauhaus.
