Fontstruct is an abstract font inspired by the fingerprints. I liked the idea that even in the digital world our work has an element of it which is analogue wether it be primary sketches or inspiration. I chose the contrast the fingerprint style with harsh lines and cutouts out emphasise the collaboration of the analogue world with the digital.
My typeface is inspired by vintage jazz vinyls I found while researching in a record shop for fonts used on my favourite covers. My final typeface shows features of aztec designs with an old fashioned feel to it.
This font references the art of Stained Glass window making and the patterns and frames Glaziers use. Every stained glass display is unique! Inspired by a stained glass doorway in Bristol along North Street, Bedminster. Named after Winona, Minnesota.
(UNFINISHED) My inspiration for the creation of this typeface was Urban Graffiti, the scrawly, scribbly-kind rather than the larger, bubblier ones. I took the small motifs and other themes that commonly appeared and turned them into a more legible typeface. For this project I was also given a 26x26 limit when creating my type.
This is my FontStruct created for the What The Font project on the UWE Graphic Design Course 2023. My intention for this font was to combine both English and Korean aesthetics. I made this font using the symbols of the Korean alphabet called Hangul specifically in a calligraphic style. It is named Seoche which is the romanization of ‘typeface’ in Korean.
Have you ever seen just a single character and though "Why don't they all look like that".
Thats what I thought seeing the letter A from a certain font. This font started with the A, the biggest thing I wanted to keep in this font was that fat stroke at the top of each letter. Its not a pretty picture, its not perfectly geometric and nearly every character looks kinda funny.
5HEAD is arguably the most top heavy font ever made; its thick, its nasty, something about it is obscene. When originally sketched, it was a clean and smooth 70s esc font - once put through Fontstruct its become a futuristic, isometric mess. Enjoy.
Main inspirations are the font Baveuse as well as a poster from Pearljam (Dismemberment Plan).
For this font I was inspired by elegant and decorative type. I looked at old English style and modern cursive fonts to inform my design. My font would be described as script, pixelated, and formal, using thick and thin strokes, ligatures, and fluid strokes to simulate handwriting.
I ran with the concept of 'analouge fun', inspired by boardgames and playing cards. I wanted to display the opulent elements of ferns and botanical motifs found on vintage cards, and the caligraphic typefaces found on older baordgames but also contrast that with 'node like' elements and squared off features to represent the sort of stepping-stones on a game board.
This typeface is based on the hand-painted names seen on the side of canal boats. The inconsistent, grainy texture of each letter is meant to represent the irregularities in using paint, for example the general wear and tear from the elements like chipped or peeling edges. This was my approach to the idea of “analogue” and a brief set to explore what that means. To me, in the context of the brief, analogue could be defined as possessing a nostalgic or "old school" quality- something replicated in an unauthentic manner in order to create a look-alike imitation of a time gone by. I also designed these letters to look like bubbles on the surface of water, hence the name 'Analogue Fizz'. I focused on the old method of transport in Bristol: boats.
This is a clone of Analogue Fizz StampedThis font takes inspiration from traditional pub signs. The wide variety of different fonts utilized in these signs caught my interest. Trying to emulate and create original letters inspired by the signs would prove a great challenge within the 24x24 grid restriction. I think the font captures the idea of competition between 'The Local's, as they tussle to have the most eye-catching designs on their signs, as every letter in my font is as eye-catching as the next. Many of the letters are individual variations of Blackletter (Old English), bold and lightly serifed type.
A typeface loosely based around Robert Perine's logo for Fender, characterised by natural, fluid shapes. The aim was to construct each letterform with minimal 'brushstrokes' - further details are captured with smaller, flicks/strokes. Additionally, the texture is supposed to mimick inkblots when using a fountain pen, for example.
A Font that pays homage to early 16th Century Gothic design in both Literature and Architecture. The sharp angles and jagged edges depict the ideas of the era and the pioneers of this time - bringing that into a modern representation with a serif style and italic Fontstruct.
I created a typeface that represented stone letter carving. My inspiration came from carved street names throughout the City of Bath and from pictures I had taken and other research, I thought it would be interesting to look at the use of positive and negative space throughout my lettering.
I am a first year student at UWE and was tasked with creating a font from scratch as one of my tasks. I have decided to re design my font as though the previous font fit the Jazz theme much better, I feel this font not only feels more natural but is more unique as well. This type of style is based on a mix between music notes as well as piano keys to envoke the idea that music is involved in the creation of this font.
This font was inspired by the graffiti and events posters in Bristol. I came across one bit of street art in particular during my research that became my main bit of inspiration. The letters looked very psychedelic based which I loved and therefore made the outcome of my font have a hint of psychedelia. It is named "Spike" as you can see a spike-like aspect feature in each of the letters. This is what gives it its psychedelic flair.
An updated typeface inspired by the home of Fine Art in Bristol, the Arnolfini Building, now including a lower case and numbers. This takes queues from its grotesque, black-letter typeface along the outside. Working on a small scale allowed me to ensure the uniformity of each character in the font.
This is a clone of Nineteen Sixty One Sans v1This typeface is based on the hand-painted names seen on the side of canal boats.

I focused on the old method of transport in Bristol: boats. To further this idea of a 'time gone by', I created this font in the set to look like ink stamped letters.
This is a clone of 1st Draft of Analogue FizzDuring my first semester of studying graphic design at UWE I was briefed to create a digital display typeface that responded to the theme of analogue. After carring out a range of reseach into different areas of analog I decided to focus on screnprinting. Screenprinting is an analogue method of printmaking and it is very common for people to utilise halftones to get a more detailed image. A halftone is a mathmatical dot pattern that represents the grayscale value of colour and are created based on a grid. From here I decided to create a typeface using this halftone method.
Slim Deco is a stylised sans serif font inspired by the ever-enduring Art Deco era. This font has clean, modern lines and decorative accents which are subtle yet set the style perfectly.
Luxurious and visually striking, Slim Deco is set in all caps and therefore best suited for larger sizes, such as headline copy, magazine covers, movie titles, brand identities, coffee shop menus, posters etc.
This font takes you back to the roaring 1920s, the clinking of champagne glasses, the sound of jazz music and the bustling of people at fabulous parties. No matter how you use Slim Deco it will be seen as a glamorous and distinct font with strong shapes and architectural leanings that will creative an eye catching design.
Inspired by water movement, this typeface was created for my 'What The Font' project for UWE. I became inspired by the rippling and fluidity of water when looking through photos from my recent snorkelling trip in the Red Sea. I began experimenting on grid paper to form a draft typeface that I could build onto in Fontstruct.
The idea for my font was inspired by the style of Art Deco, and more specifically tiling. I made sure to use the key elements of art deco - which is geometry, elongated lettering, a regular and bold mix, all-caps, arched and decorative details. I was inspired by designers such as A.m Cassandre and Tony Forster. Often Art Deco designs have ornate details - so I have tried to include this by having a specific, unique element that carries through most of the letters.
Inspired by the digital aspect of CDs and DVDs, I decided to create a font that takes influence from The Prodigy's 1992 album "Experience" which is an album that I used to listen to as a child on my CD player. I liked the use of soft yet harsh lines and ovals hidden in between circles, along with the mismatched uppercase and lowercase letters. I tried my best to make the font seem clean cut and smooth but I am not the best at using this website so far haha so I will need some more practise, especially in the K, W, X and Z letters as the diagonal sides were confusing to make.

A font inspired by a combination of old gothic and block type, designed for bigger bodies of text and mastheads, using this font for smaller paragraphs would result in less legibility. I aimed to combine the straight and structured characteristics of slab serif block fonts and the artistic elements of gothic fonts. As a result i have created Ribbon Edge, a clear typeface with stylized ends.
This is a cloneCatclaw was inspired by my cat Meow mix's claws, and arabic indic numerals. This font has two meanings; one being that the shapes of the letters look like cat claws, and the other relfecting off of cats attitude in general. Crazy, wild, and independant beings.
My inspiration for this font was Tim Burtons typeface that was used throughout his films. I was also inspired by the old VHS tapes and the way they would glitch out sometimes making the typefaces look a little odd at times. I decided to make mine look a little off in some places with some letters to show the inspiration from this along with a little hint of Tim Burton's style.
