This is a project for uni which i created by researching curved objects which surrounded me and tried to use the same technique and rules throughout the characters.

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.

To explore he theme of pompous I have been studying Georgian era culture, from fashion to buildings they where always trying to better one another. I have tried to recreate this by creating towering characters based on Georgian architecture. I believe this font could work on an architectural magazine or other construction based advert.

First fontface ever done for uni brief dealing the theme 'sharp'.
After some research i found out that a sharp is also a lunar impact crater and decided to build this font around this idea. The stripes are also a reminder of noise as a sharp is also a very high pitch note...
Feedback welcome!

I started looking at making a font using the theme sharp, I wanted to stay away from the obvious of making it look like sharp objects and looked at what sharp objects can do. That's how i came to this. I have taken simple letter forms and cut into them, trying to make it look like they have been cut up and put back together.

My starting point for this project was the theme evil, this naturally lead me into looking into blackletter typefaces. I then looked at how blackletter has become popular in Mexico. Especially within the urban, gangster culture, which is where i have drawn the inspirations for the majority of my final letterforms from.This is a clone

This typeface is based on the theme decay. It references the idea of how things decay when they are forgotten and so parts of each of the letters are missing. This links to the idea it is based on the courier font which was used in the typewriter. It shows a link that once something is forgotten e.g. technology such as a type writer it starts to decay. This typeface also has reference to the ideas of the bacteria that cause decay and so hence called prokaryotes which is the term used to describe this bacteria. This font can be used as a display font for many things including gig posters etc.

The idea for the font came from looking at the curves in Wind ornaments. The block like structure of the wood and then the spiral effect. I also looked at Wooden table arrangments that resembled wood shavings, like ribbon curls. I wanted a contiuous theme to run through and link all the glyphs together. So i used the ribbon like structure as the backbone to all the uppercase and then serifs to link the Glyffs to each other. There is also a suggestion of movement in the style, as it is italic. I kept the decorative theme as well, to stay true to the concept behind the idea. This is a display font with a limited and definate purpose.

For my font I tried searching for a new meaning to explore the theme of curves. I did this by approaching it in a different manor by looking into the value of 3D curves, for example poles. This was then developed from phone masts into the forms of aerial and radar. Its name derives from my view that the font Arial could be updated and made more exciting and I did this in a literal way, its primarily a headline font, but could also be used for logos, especially within the telecommunication industry.

The idea of 'looking sharp' is what influenced me in this type design and the letters clean cut dynamics are designed to represent the idea of a neat appearance.

I produced this for my "communicating with words" first year module on the BA(Hons) Graphic Design course at UWE Bristol, England. It pays homage to Ralph Steadman and is a true testament to what you can do on fontstruct, if you’re willing to spend a week in front of a computer in your underpants.

A typeface inspired by robotics & futuristic forms. The thick & thin elements consisting in the typeface represent dynamic contrasts of robotic forms. The uppercase letterforms are based on negative space, so is better suited as a headline typeface.

Built around the theme of Decay, the main meaning behind this font is representation of Architectural Decay. The tight kerning and thin widths of each letter are to show the height of buildings when put together in skylines. The mixture of serif and sans serif letters are used as examples of both traditional and modern day architecture being brought together in the same space, although how despite the age differences, both old and new are prone to decay like everything else.
