Originally inspired by the word ‘Disintegrate’. I explored the idea of decay and burnt edges, this lead to printing out an alphabet in the font Gotham and burning the edge just enough to get jagged edges but keep the text legible. By scanning in these letters I could print them onto graph paper which allowed me to format the shapes to fit with fontstruct. I feel this font is more suitable for posters or titles than a page body copy.

My typeface is based on the theme of disintegration. My starting point came from my interpretation of the word disintegrate; I immediately thought of 'burn'. After this I carried out some experiments by burning paper which led me to focus on the fragility of the charred edges. This made me want to create a delicate typeface with subtle shading; I found that I was influenced by Baskerville and Bistream Vera. My final typeface is designed to look like burnt paper. It is expressive and could only be used as title text rather than body text.

A simple, flame inspired pixel font with simple numbers. Used only square blocks, and plain numbers. My first "fontstruction". Enjoy!

I created this font using the subject matter 'decay'. I am an amateur, having never used fontstruct before and only ever created hand rendered fonts or type via letter press this was a challenge! It is by no means perfect (I will finish the x,y and z shortly when my internet stops giving me grief). I have already tried to type this description several times but fontstruct persistently signs me out every time I reach a crucial stage in my production :( feel free to interpret how you wish! It is entitled burn but I believe and have been told that the patterns also resemble mouldy old fruit/veg and general decay - lovely!

A font project set by UWE in my first year, based around the theme of danger therefore linking to fire the attempt to keep it in its boundaries.

So, this is basically a very dirty font. Took me a lot of effort to make it. I will add more letters and things like that to this font later, but for now enjoy this fine piece of work.
