As part of my "Found Type" project at UWE, we had to design a font for a theme that we chose. I chose Ornate. I was particularly drawn to this theme due to its relations with Biblical manuscripts and the architecture within Churches. I ended up combining the manuscript like lettering with features of Churches. I realised that this combination creates a great contrast between thick and thin, straight and curves. I found it difficult to create curves on font struct, but I rose to the challenge and created this. I hope you enjoy!

Influenced by shattered glass and the idea of 'ordered chaos', I created a type that would appear to be both legible and illegible. Looking at certain geometric shapes I focussed on how a letter could be 'pulled' apart into something completely different and chaotic.

This is my final font for my task at UWE. I wanted to keep it really simple and free. I would greatly appreciate any positive and negative feedback! Please tell me what you think and what I could improve on as this is one of my first published fonts.

Lemiscus is a display typeface created for the module 'Communicating with words' at UWE, inspired by the word 'ornate'. Initial research led me to design a typeface where each letter is arranged from a single length of ribbon (although I have had to break this rule for some punctuation). I laid the ribbon out into the shape of each letterform and copied every angle on Fontstruct to get it just right.
Due to us UWE students overwhelming the Fontstruct servers tonight, I can’t edit my Fontstruction any more right now, but I should have all those little out of place bits and bobs nice and tidy in the next week.
Best viewed zoomed in slightly.

First fontstruction. Based on initial ideas for UWE project (theme: ornate), and church decoration.
