Bromography on the dead words blog

I just finished this new piece for the dead words blog. Here is a small description of the blog :”For over centuries, thousands of English words have been created, modified, and removed. Through this blog of lettering, we rediscover and interpret stories of dead words. All letterings in here are words that were once used in our language. Today, most of them are omitted from common English dictionaries. This may be the last chance for us to learn and commemorate the words before they are truly dead and forgotten.”
And here is the post.
