The standardized pictoral typeface was originally developed for the data analysis and visual communication of archaeological finds and findings. Realizing the potential of the typeface, we developed over 400 more pictograms for other domains.
The concept of Diglû is originally the result of a practice-based research project. The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) project was developed in collaboration with the University of Bern, Near Eastern Archaeology and the University of the Arts Bern in the research area Knowledge Visualization.
Diglû enables archaeologists to visualize data and to augment charts, maps and text easily by integrating icons. The pictogram font replaces abstract numbers or letters of geometric forms by vivid images. Diglû helps archaeologists to communicate more accurately through a faster knowledge transfer and a better comprehension of complex topics.

Diglu (di-ig-lu) means in Akkadian «eyesight, sight, vision, mirror» from dagālu «to look».
