Based on the theme of 'repetition' my type design is completely based on crosswords. A crossword is a word puzzle that normally takes the form of a square or a rectangular grid of white and black shaded squares, however i decided to remove the black background that is normally visible as i wanted to create a clear, sleek and flowing typeface. Initially i wanted to create the whole font out of 4x3, but soon i realised that some letters wouldn't work and that would then make the whole font harder to read so i increased my canvas size per letter to 5x5 maximum. The numbers have no relevance to the shape of the letters, they are just evenly spread so that they don't duplicate next to each other. I have started playing around with other versions of the font and hope to get them live soon.

This was my third attempt at creating a successful font for my UWE graphic design project. I originally picked flaccid for my theme however when it came to generating my ideas they seemed very similar to other fonts already made, this led me to take one of my experiments and use it to base my font; Links. focused on repetition and patterns i chose to keep it simple and tried to make a complex looking pattern. any comments would be appreciated.

A punk in a suit: the initial inspiration for this font came from the theme 'loud'. My thought process was that actions speak louder than words, and the Punk movement in the ‘70s helped people through a lot of social and economic unrest; punk communicates effectively. Consequently, I approached creating a typeface with the DIY mentality of punk. I observed the approach of Jamie Reid, the zine culture and various band posters to identify with the distinctive cut and paste style. I then considered how this could be used to communicate with more than one audience at once while retaining the punk aesthetic. This led me to create a typeface which is conflicted between serif and sans-serif; it features jerky counters contrasting with chipped bowls; it’s a font designed to appear cut up and pasted back together in line with the traditional ethics of DIY punk.

Theme: Curves
Idea: Shoe lace
... was set a task to research, develop and make a font/typeface design using one of the themes in a list given to us. My first two attempts was looking at the most obvious idea of bubble writing just to get a feel of fontstruct where it occurred to me that I practically chose one of the most hardest themes to do on fonstruct. other attempts were made in sketch books to see how much could push my thought process on one particular theme. The idea then struck me whilst on a break and looking down at my shoes after dropping an item.
Process: took one shoe lace/string and arranged into letters.
then took pictures and use them as reference points for each and every letter.
because I had trouble recreating the actual picture on fontstruct I decided to step back and approach it differently. this is when I got the idea that instead of just making the string as it is, i'll just make the font thicker and put in some pattern like detail such as weaved fabric and recreate that.
I went back to the sketchbook and looked at the letters and decided to just do it with one string shaped as the letters

This Fontstruction is for the theme "continuous". For this theme I began looking at words that relate to continuous, such as "journey" I then looked at ideas that relate to journey such as train tracks. However I felt that this would have been difficult to create in fontstruct, so I proceeded to look at other things that are similar in structure which resulted in me looking at the form of zips.

Based on asymmetry, this font is inspired by geometrical shapes, Piet Mondrian and gothic fonts. My aim was to create a final font that will express my idea of asymmetry. I experimented with a lot of lines and shapes, glued paper and fonts that are abstract. This typeface can be used for titling mostly because it is too heavy and complicated for script.

After 2 months, I've forward-processed the Latin alphabet, by applying similar changes that led from mine to the modern, to itself again, continuing the development had modern technology not connected the world. Though some letters are exactly the same, and some are only slightly modified, they are all closer (if they're not there yet) to the easiest writing method, less complex lines, and less lines.

This is my first typeface, it is based around the theme of "fluid". I was initially inspired by foreign alphabets/symbols/logograms. In particular, Arabic characters in a Chinese calligraphic style. While this start point could have lead to more experimental outcomes, I have chosen to keep the look simple so that it would be more versatile.

Being malnourished results in people fading away, they change and gradually become less and less. The majority being left with just their frail skeleton and their faint personality. Changes is based on the idea of people fading, the dark areas represents the faint personality that exists from a malnourished person. The dark areas taken from finger prints, literally show their identity in each letter.

Originally inspired by the word ‘Disintegrate’. I explored the idea of decay and burnt edges, this lead to printing out an alphabet in the font Gotham and burning the edge just enough to get jagged edges but keep the text legible. By scanning in these letters I could print them onto graph paper which allowed me to format the shapes to fit with fontstruct. I feel this font is more suitable for posters or titles than a page body copy.

My typefaces are inspired by Frederic Goudy and Vic lee and Ginger Monkey(Tom Lane) .Their typeface design are similar to my theme and also they are detailed artists. They bring me some ideas to develop my ideas. I wanted to use these character is for the newspaper, magazine of even though some poster, for the first character , such as the Frederic Goudy's work.

This font was based on the word 'Systematic' which led me to think of things that involve/are part of systems, for example, pipe works. Inspired from simpler modular fonts but taking a twist on it by making it curved and rounded. Works better at a medium display size.

This ornamental typeface was based around the word 'DECORATIVE.' I have tried to make this style of type and lettering artistic and eye-catching. It was first inspired by the movement and aesthetic look of ribbon and scrolls. With further research I started to look at old fashioned fairytale typography and classic art nouveau artwork and posters. The typeface itself is very pattern based and every letter has a different element to them which has been inspired by something different.
