About Sensei

Sensei Language & Typography Lab is a voluntary, non-profit NGO based in the Czech Republic, dedicated to the advancement and exploration of languages and typography.

Our team of experts in typography, type design, linguistics, and palaeography conducts innovative research and promotes the understanding and appreciation of these fields. We strive to create a vibrant community where knowledge is shared and preserved, fostering an environment where linguistic and typographic diversity can thrive. At Sensei Lab, we are committed to making complex ideas accessible and engaging, ensuring that our work benefits both specialists and the broader public.

Our projects hold significant importance, particularly in the realm of literacy. By developing and refining typefaces and orthographies, we support the preservation and revitalization of underserved languages. This work is crucial in providing the tools necessary for effective communication and education within these communities, ultimately fostering greater literacy rates and cultural preservation. Our efforts help bridge the gap for languages that lack formalized writing systems, enabling them to be documented, taught, and celebrated. 

Beyond literacy, our initiatives contribute to the broader field of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage. By supporting developing orthographies and documenting endangered languages, we ensure that linguistic knowledge is not lost but instead passed down through generations. Our commitment to these causes helps maintain the richness of global linguistic heritage, promoting inclusivity and understanding across different cultures. Sensei Lab's dedication to these projects underscores our mission to enhance communication, preserve cultural identities, and support educational initiatives worldwide.
