I produced this typeface as a part of a UWE project. I started by exporing the word dangerous, where I moved onto the topic of fear. This lead me to a fear of heights and ultimately glass and the way it smashes. This broken glass typeface is shattered as if hit directly and smashed into shape. I wanted it to look more unorganised so the smash seemed more natural. I didn't want the pieces to fit the shape of the letter form but I also didn't want you to be unable to read the letter so I felt like this was a good middle ground between the two. This typeface is to be used as a title font rather than text font.
This font was created using a systm that randomly generated angles to score through the letters. This creates the effect that the letters have been randomly shattered, yet each cut is planned out one by one.
Starting with the word Unstable I have created this set of three fonts to show the breakdown of letterforms. Starting with Awe Fixed the letterforms are perfectly legible and stand quite tall and bold. Awe Shatter shows breaks within the letterforms as if shattered, while still legible the font still gives a very unstable feel. Awe Broken is the final font of the set which shows the letters in pieces.
