A Glyph is the visual embodiment of a Chord.
It is drawn by combining:
Every Chord becomes a Glyph when written or etched.
And every Glyph carries:
It’s not just written—it’s performed on the page.
Each Tone has an associated sacred geometric shape:
| Tone | Shape Symbol | Feel / Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Fierce | 🔺 | Sharp Triangle – Direction, piercing, attack |
| Still | ⚪ | Circle – Wholeness, calm, endless return |
| Curious | 🌀 | Spiral – Expansion, seeking, question |
| Hollow | 🌙 | Crescent – Incompleteness, loss, echo |
| Blooming | ✴ | Starburst – Growth, explosion, radiant becoming |
| Binding | ♾ | Interlocked Loops – Union, connection, sacred links |
| Fractured | ⚡ | Split Zig-Zag – Chaos, disruption, instability |
| Sacred | ⭕ | Halo Arc – Elevated meaning, transcendence |
✍️ This shape is the core anchor of the glyph. It’s drawn first.
Each Color affects the quality of the lines used in the glyph:
| Color | Line Style | Conceptual Flavor |
|---|---|---|
| Red | Bold, jagged | Intensity, confrontation |
| Blue | Smooth, wavy | Depth, intuition, dream |
| Gold | Precise, radiant | Insight, clarity, structure |
| Silver | Soft, shaded, echoing | Memory, reflection, gentleness |
| Green | Branching, organic | Growth, harmony, life |
| Black | Dotted, fading | Decay, forgetting, mystery |
| White | Light-stroke, ethereal | Potential, beginning |
| Violet | Interwoven, paradoxical | Liminality, surreal truth |
✍️ Line style is applied second—it defines how you draw the Tone Shape.
Each Pulse determines the motion path of the drawing—how your hand moves:
| Pulse | Drawing Motion Pattern | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Fast | Sharp flicks, quick motion | Urgency, action, strikes |
| Slow | Long, steady glide | Meditation, depth, calm |
| Spiral | Expanding or contracting swirl | Thought recursion, insight unfolding |
| Pulse | Rhythmic up-down arcs | Breathing emotion, natural wave |
| Fractal | Nested mini-patterns | Complexity, reflection, meta-meaning |
| Strobe | Fragmented, broken lines | Disruption, confusion, signal chaos |
✍️ Drawing motion is applied as you draw—the feel of the movement is as important as the form.
Chord: Ehlith = [Sacred | Gold | Spiral]
Result: A radiant spiral halo, representing sacred insight unfolding
Tone gives Shape.
Color gives Texture.
Pulse gives Motion.
Together, they form a living glyph—a visible vibration.
You are not writing.
You are etching frequencies into the world.
