Summary

A digital solution enhances accessibility and engagement with medieval cultural heritage, demonstrating how typographic digitization can bridge gaps between traditional and modern learning. The study focuses on 14th to 16th century 'stećak' tombstone graveyards in Bosnia and Herzegovina, integrating their unique writing system ('Bosančica'), iconography, and relief into an interactive web platform. By leveraging widely available tools, the research creates a visually enriched educational experience that pairs historical context with dynamic digital resources. A custom transliterator further personalizes user interaction by converting Latin script input to 'Bosančica,' offering an innovative approach to cultural preservation and public engagement.
