A form of simplified symbols which move, used in place of writing in the extramuros world. Kinagrams replaced Logotype a few years before the novel opens. The primary innovations in praxis which appears to give rise to the kinagram seems to be the use of movement of the type, as implied by the root kinetics in the word. Almost certainly image, opposed to type, based. Inferred by the term logo in Logotype, though this could arise from dissonance between the languages of Earth and Arbre, as well as the intended root of Logotype.
