Cultures bring their unique characteristics when encountering other culture. Letterform are the visible artefact of a culture that can be seen spreading across the world. There are cultures that interact with Indonesian cultures are being absorbed and modified before it can become fully accepted. The culture acceptance in the letterform in Indonesia is changing depends on who is having the authority. Even the current letterform used in Indonesia is the Latin letterform, but the history shown that there are also other letterform being used, such as Pallava and Arabic. The attempt is to create new letterform that can be a symbol of harmonious cultural dialogue, knowing ourselves as Indonesian and try to contribute to the identity of Indonesia as Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, unity in diversity.
