This is my display font that I created based around the theme of 'fluid'. I began researching existing fluid related typefaces, then began to sketch my own ideas out, then brought them ideas into fontsruct. I tried to keep it as smooth as possible, so I worked to a small scale, to prevent and pixelation. I believe this would be a very useful font for halloween related design, or even christmas, as it also resembles snow melting. All feedback is appreciated.

I made this font in a projectI am completing at University west of England, I Looked at all different types of energy to complete this like, light, sound, heat and more than I could put into my new typography. I did lots of experiments with these using shapes and forms and decided to look at the electric circuit board. I used the shapes and lines you find in circuit boards to create loads of different typography ideas. In the end I decided to use the electric symbols and lines in the font. I made it bold and sharp with strong straight edges to try and get my idea across.

My first project as a student at UWE studying Graphic Design was to create a font using FontStruct. I chose to develop the theme messy, I thought to myself ‘what makes a mess?’ This led me to the idea of toast, it’s messy and especially when burnt. I cut letters out of burnt toast, I really liked the effect it had made therefore it influenced me to develop it further within FontStruct. I decided to use Helvetica as a guide purely for its simple, clean letterforms, hence why I have named my typeface ‘Burnt Helvetica’. I wanted to really capture the essence of the burnt areas with shading, therefore my inspiration came from cutting the burnt toast around a Helvetica letter template, photographing it and printing it on graph paper. Due to the nature of the font being messy I wouldn’t use it on anything formal or of importance, I feel that it would be suitable to be used within children associated designs, definitely food related designs and perhaps something rather playful or of course, messy. This is my first attempt using FontStruct all feedback is welcome.

This is the typeface that I have deigned in my first term doing Graphic Design at Bristol UWE. I was looking at the word Dangerous. In the beginning I looked at broken things, construction sites, sharp tools, thorns etc. until I narrowed down my themes to sharp objects and the swift way that a knife can cut paper. Looking at this fast movement I tried to minimise the number of lines that I used in my typeface. In my opinion this font can be used for promotional ‘danger’ posters or advertisement.

People are afraid. That's what makes us human. It's part of our animal instinct - when we come across something dangerous, our fight-or-flight instinct kicks in. I surveyed a class of students and asked them what they found frightening. The responses were varied, and although some were predictable, and others highly unusual, I found a common theme in many; things that bite, claw, and sting. With this in mind I started to design this font using shapes inspired by both the teeth of modern domestic dogs and of wild wolves. That's why I chose to name it 'Fenrir' - the great wolf of Norse mythology.
