The article describes the project of Jožef Poklukar (1791-1866), in which he tried to establish a universal alphabet for the notation of the Slavic languages. Poklukar began working on the project in the 1820s, but published the first article only in 1851. After that he intensively developed his alphabet and published numerous updated versions of lithographic tables in daily newspapers and as a publisher. Printed material sources were used as the core material of the research. Although his project was interesting from the linguistic and typographic point of view, it had no influence on the notation and remains an example of a utopian project
