ISOTYPE, or International System of Typographic Picture Education, is a visual communication method developed in the 1920s by Otto Neurath. It uses simple, standardized symbols to convey complex information quickly and clearly. The goal of ISOTYPE is to make data accessible to a wide audience, regardless of language or literacy levels.
The ISOTYPE system employs pictograms and diagrams to represent statistical data and concepts. This approach is particularly useful in fields like education, public health, and social sciences, where visual representation can enhance understanding and retention of information.
