The article demonstrates that letters can play a visual role close to that played by images. Calligraphy,
typography, calligrams, palindromes and anagrams are as many ways of attracting the reader’s/spectator’s
attention and bringing to the fore the material quality of a text. Linguistic games also offer vivid instances of
hybrid effects. They all play a part similar to that of anamorphosis. Numerous novels, such as Sterne’s
Tristram Shandy, play with the many visual possibilities of letters. Conversely, numerous pictures include
letters in their own mode and apparatus not only as signatures but also as simulacrа of speech, sound and
language. Contemporary art enjoys using letters as the very matter of their production. Ranging from Mantegna
to street art, going through Magritte and the works of the Art & Language group, to quote a few, letters partake
of visual systems of expression and production. The article interrogates the functions of images either when
they figure in a text and font image (make up an image) or when they are part of a picture or an image. In our
digital age, words and images, letters, lines and colours are part and parcel of our relationship to the multimodal
world which we inhabit.
