Font based on the theme of decay. I started by looking at the decaying buildings, working from photographs of tired brick and worn surfaces. I made some rubbings from text on the side of a building and this is what the main font outline is based on. I wanted to create a worn font, with an almost burnt texture to replicate the worn and disintegrating buildings I started with. The name comes from text on the side of a building and I think the textures of decay can be beautiful.This is a clone

1st University project, set for the typography course, aiming to produce a typeface based on the word 'Decay'. The type was inspired by the decaying of flesh, in particular, looking at the aftermath. This is also my 1st time using FontStruct.

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!

My name's Josh and I'm a graphic design first year student at the University of the West of England. This is my typeface, Crumble, developed from the theme of decay. As my first time using FontStruct I struggled at first getting the feel of the programme and this is my final outcome. Throughout the process of creating my alphabet I realised some limitations I’d inadvertently set myself and therefore had to simplify my design, however the end result is one that I find effective due to this simplicity.

I began by exploring the theme of decaying objects, such as fruit, and studied the shape (and change of shape) of the objects, as they progressively fell apart. By creating hand drawn sketches i began to create a typeface that looked as though it was rotting/melting away. I used a traditional typeface, Times New Roman, that could be considered as quite boring and a font which has been around for a long time and then used it as a base font which i then made to look as though it was rotting and falling apart by refering back to my earlier sketches. Overall I aimed to create a typeface that represents the decay of an older, more traditional and perhaps overused typeface.

Hi! My name is Patricia and I study Graphic Design at UWE. As part of my project I decided to use decay as the theme for my font. I started my research by photographing old building, rusty metal, broken brick, etc. Then I started experimenting and looking at other decay fonts, this is when I decided that I didn't want my font to have the typical broken appearance. So I decided to go for more of a scratchy, rough and uneven font. This is a clone

This is a font that I have created as part of a project at UWE. We were given a list of words to choose from that would inspire our font. I chose the word 'decay' and chose to research into urban decay as well as general decaying objects and buildings. Each letter of my font relates closely to a photograph that I have taken as inspiration, I think this way the letters look more like the realistic object that they are meant to represent.

my name is fiona hobson and I am a student at UWE and after exploring decay through varies areas,urban decay rotting food etc i decided to look at thing i thought represented deca without showing it exactly this is where i thought of flies. flies buzz around dead beings as well as rotting food so decided to base my typeface around this.This is a clone

This is the second of two typefaces that I have created in response to a brief set in my first term studying Graphic Design at UWE Bristol. My chosen theme for the six week project was decay. I decided to create two fonts, an original and a decayed version. I took inspiration from photos I took of graffiti and tagging around Bristol. For this specific font I was inspired by the way graffiti changes and breaks down over time. 'Decayed Spray' is my interpretation of the spray painted letter forms that crowd the walls of this city... after weather and humans have done their thing for a fair few years. www.jenniferlouisejohnson.tumblr.com This is a clone of spray

This is my first fontstruct design for my project in my Graphic Design degree at UWE Bristol. This typeface is based on ‘decay’ and the way it takes shape on objects, almost as if it’s melting/ taking over like some kind of disease. I have also used thorns and the way they wrap around each other, like a snake wrapping itself round it’s pray.

i created this font as part of a graphic design project while studying at uwe. i chose the theme of decay and after research and development decided to go with the idea of radioactive decay. i really like the particle effect. the inspiration for this came from images from electron microscopes i found during my research. the build up of particles that make up solid objects is really interesting to me. i wanted to capture the idea of the many tiny particles so i made my font rather large using many circular tiles to gain detail in my letters.

This font came from the idea of 'squishy' being merged with the word 'decay' - such things as food become 'squishy' when they start to 'decay' and rot.

This is the typeface I have created in response to my university brief - to create a typeface using the software fontstuct. I choose the theme decay and after research my font is based on the decay found in urban areas, specifically old industrial American areas such as Detroit and the font found there.This is a clone of Detroit Decay Bold

This is a font that i have designed and created as part of a project given in the first term of my first year doing Graphic Design at UWE. The initial theme for my project was "Decay" where I researched different types of rotting, erosion and decay of quality in every day objects. I then came to look at crumbling brick walls and developed my font from there. I've tried to show a lack in defined edges and emphasise a crumbled, smudgey typeface. I think it could be used as a relatively playful font,but could have strong impact if used for communicating the idea of decay or decompositon. This is a bold font, meant to be used big! Feel free to comment or discuss !

The original starting point for this typeface was "Decay." I was thinking about what is left after something has completely decayed, which brought me to the idea of using skulls. After having created the skull outline, I tried different ways of including the letterforms, and decided that the simpler the better (and more readable.) As a result, the typeface has gained a sort of old-school computer game-esque feel - hence the name.
This Fontstruction has been created as a part of a Project during my first term studying Graphics at UWE.This is a clone of GAME OVER

I started this typeface from the word 'chaos', and from that word looked into things like wars and riots; ineffectually looking into the after affects of chaos. This led me to look into such large scale events as Hiroshima, and the wreckage of that chaos inspired this typeface.

This is my first fontsruction since studying at Uwe. I started looking at decay before looking into wood decay and the fungi and mushrooms that grow from it. Here I have make each letter resemble a mushroom.
