However, the existence of the Lubuklinggau ulu script has only been known and studied by a small number of academics in Lubuklinggau City, which is considered less effective in sustainable preservation. (2) Module making as a cultural preservation technique is one of the effective strategies in preserving culture in the community. In making the learning material module of the Lubuklinggau ulu script, the needs analysis data showed that there was no special subject or special material that specifically discussed the Lubuklinggau ulu script in the scope of formal education. Therefore, the module was made by following the module making procedure and going through the product validation process. The result is a learning material module on typography of the Lubuklinggau ulu script consisting of three main materials, namely two-dimensional art, Lubuklinggau ulu script, and typography, which can be used as a learning resource in learning cultural arts in grade X high school. (3) The learning material module of the Lubuklinggau ulu script has been declared feasible because each stage of its manufacture is carried out systematically and in accordance with the module design procedure. The assessment results from media experts, material experts, class teachers, and participants showed excellent results with the category "Very Good". The design of this module aims to appreciate and preserve the cultural identity of the Lubuklinggau City community, as well as a response to the task of the education unit in preserving regional culture and teaching it to the next generation.
