I've tried to create the impression that the top half of the font has 'slipped', crushing the lower middle portion.
This font looks good on screen at size 15 or 16, but not smaller.

Scifi font based on the Tesla Motors storefront. I wondered what a full font set based on that theme might look like. All caps, wide font, with open design and strong horizontal lines. This is my first font and I'm going to go ahead and publish it as it's pretty much done, but I might tweak it some as things go on.
If you use this font please drop me a line - I'd love to see how it's used in the wild... Hope you find this useful. Enjoy!This is a clone

When be began the project on designing my own typeface, I had to design and create it relating to a specific theme. I chose to focus my design on the theme of 'Decay'.
From the beginning, I wanted to create typeface which represented a very basic idea of the the theme of Decay. I looked at all possible avenues that I could take into design consideration and ended up coming with some interesting concepts I could use.
I started looking at the idea of Decay throughout technology. I began taking photos as well as researching forms of decay in technology. The one aspect which kept coming up were computer keyboards. I found plenty of images of keyboards with decay, which then acted as a key influence for my work.
The idea for having my typeface created in the style of computer keys was quite unique to me. When in the creation process, I created the key design as well as the letter-forms which I had mapped out using graph paper. I was then to add the appearance of decay to the letter-forms afterwards.
I then started coming up with styles of decay I could incorporate into the letter-forms. I wanted to have a clear representation of the theme, but keep it in the style/representation of computers. i.e Pixels.
I messed around with one of the letter-forms with a basic pixel appearance of decay. When zoomed in, it didn't look like the standard I wanted it to be, but when zoomed out, the pixels came together to present the them in detail. I then went ahead and applied the feature to all of the letter-forms and punctuation symbols. The typeface was finally complete.

For my first project at Uwe I had to produce a type face based on a word i chose from a list,I chose decay and wanted to look into how sea rope ages and decays.

This typeface is based on the theme of "Vibration". From the beginning I wanted to create a unique design, looking at sound I decided to use my voice as the starting point. After recording myself pronouncing the alphabet and uploading it to a sound editor I looked at the different shapes and patterns it created. This was my voice that was unique to me and was the inspiration for the typeface. I then researched fonts and looked at bold, chunky designs which could hold the pattern without taking too much away from the letter form as it was important to me that my design was still legible. I decided to use the corresponding sound with the letter (i.e. the A has my pronunciation of the letter running through it)making it different from anything I have seen before. Please comment and share your opinions. Thank You

Negative Chaos is the end result of a typography project at Uwe. My theme word was 'chaos' I began exploring the meaning of this word. This led to several experiments exploring how I could use marks or patterns to express chaos. My favourite experiment used the stencil of the letter and then used drops of ink, the negative space of the letter was left once the stencil was removed and surrounding this were random drops of ink. Each letter was therefore unique so there was already an element of chaos in the typeface, but I also felt the effect of ink created an energetic feeling which felt chaotic.

Conduit is a display font inspired by electricity pylon designs from around the world. Each letter has a sturdy, structured look, featuring latticed crossbeams and a thick angular outline.
Conduit is great for making an impact if used sparingly, but not so good for large bodies of text. It’s also well suited to larger sizes, showing off it’s detailed structure and utilising it’s bold design to the fullest.This is a clone

I tried to replicate an old VCR font from various images and pieces of video online. A few of the letters and all of the symbols were entirely speculation.

A sans-serif capital font.
Sorry if any character looks weird, it isn't that easy for me.
Also,
] = some wiggly thing that goes under a letter
@ = star box
} = "stem" prolonger(?)
ç = star (after/before character)
Ç = star (ONLY before character)
Please help improving this fontstruction!

Based on a poster for the movie Metropolis, although some letters were not present so I had to wing it on those.

There are not many glyphs included but when I get time I will add more. Inspired Precision Building I was constructing a site for and they had a stencil font on the end of a piece of 4x2!

Based on the word 'order', my type design comes from the idea of books. Books are typically ordered neatly on a bookshelf, yet they also have an underlying sense of representing an educated 'order' within society, and in many ways connoting heavily with the court and justice. I found it very hard to get the angles I wanted in relation to the design I had hand drawn and it took me a long time to even try and get it to look vaguely right. It was stressed to me to keep away from pixels, so I had to work with the angles that Fontstruct gave me. Having also been given some feedback, I did some experimentation in terms of making the letters look more like books; using shading, lines and boxes but none of them had a successful outcome so I stuck to what I think looks best and right. There have been many challenges in creating this typeface but I am fairly pleased with the current outcome.

The design was inspired by the Art Deco era typefaces and architecture. While constructed with simple shapes, it is strong, bold, stylistic, and commands attention. Created in Des Moines, this is Des Deco.

A replica of the lettering I carved into a linocut book cover that I made for my favourite book: The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner by James Hogg.
