The theme I chose was 'Decorative'. It's my first font that I have created using Fontstruct and is based around an iron fence that I came across that was very art deco. I initially used a lot of circles, and then found the font wasn't legible when constructed like this. As a result I used minimal circles of the same thickness to the rectangles for the basic structure. I left spaces when joining them which I thick modernises the font as well as the varied height of the crossbars. Which was determined but the width of certain shapes. I used the typeface Arial as my basic foundation for this font as it is simple and for starting off on fontstruct, recreating Arial is comfortably achievable using the shapes provided. ]]> https://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/1068536/iron_circles Mon, 27 Oct 2014 21:18:55 +0000
Elegane is a response to the theme 'decorative'. It is a very french looking font, as it explores a quirky elegance, inspired by the illustrations of Walt Peregoy. I looked at Parisian culture and lifestyle. Architecture and interior style was very much a key influence as it is typically fanciful, ornate and decorative. The font is heavily influenced by floral design and is more of a display font, especially when used in a larger size as the structure of the circles becomes more apparent and therefore modernises it's appearance. ]]> https://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/1070199/elegane_1
