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.

A very simple design that was fun to do, extremley simple so im sure it's been done before, havn't been on this sight very long but i flicked through it for quite a while to see if anyone had done something the same and didnt have any immediate luck so went ahead with creating it, some of you more seasoned fontstructors n doubt will enlighten me to someone doing the same lol..still a fun little excercise nonetheless! :D

This is my first time creating Fontstruct, my theme behind this typeface is Curves. I have been inspired by my surroundings but also have been looking at intricate mosaic artwork.
I do feel that maybe the letters C, D, & E do not work aswell as some of the other letters in this typeface.
Welcome to Feedback.

My first shot at using font struct, based on the theme of curves, inspiration came from the look of graffiti and old 60s posters. A first year project at UWE Bristol,

This font looks at natural forms in nature such as plants and leaves. It reflects there patterns and organic curves. Each letter has at least one line of symmetry creating a kaleidoscope effect.

For my Uni project I had to create a font based on the word 'Curves'. Drawing inspiration from hand drawn type, I created this font.

An update of Curva Old. I fixed up several problems to do with curves in strange places but I kept the old one because the way it was is still a good style. This font and the other one where inspired by a font called Abode and a font called Danube.This is a clone of Curva Old

So here it is...Green Eyed Girl.
This project at UWE Bristol was to create a typefacd based around one word; so I looked into the word 'Curves' (which I probabily will never do again) and eventually came up with this. The idea came from looking at curves in lizards and vines, then linking the curvy-reptile theme with Medusa - hence 'Green Eye'.
Originally I was going to base it on a serif typeface but found that far too difficult on Fontstruct so used aggressive strait lines - similar to pre-historic drawings - to provide contrast against the seductive curves to make it seem like an Evil Temptress. The serif's are there to add authority.
So thats Green Eyed Girl by me...Sophina B.
*I think it may need tweaking in the sense that I've aligned each letter to the edge of the curve rather than the edge against the serif or stem. *

The simplistic font In arms was created around the theme of curves. I was interested in the curves of the human form (primarily the form and shapes of the arms and hands) The font is not perfect and not symmetrical, just like the human form.

I created this font for my University project. It was my first time using this site and I found it quite hard at first but now quite enjoy the possibilities. I started by looking at the word "Ornate" which to me, means adorned or decorated. When I looked at decorative adorned work, I noticed the use of vines and flowers. I then took photos of vines on buildings which inspired my font.
I started with a basic letter form and by using composite bricks I added pattern in the bricks and edges much like some older buildings. Then finally added vines and flowers to complete the font.

First of all i was looking at architecture and the curve designs on the collumns of buildings, then moving on with my idea i started by experimenting with ink, looking at how it reacts in water, and filming ink being dropped into water. I then moved onto simply dropping ink into and page to see how it fell, then using the dropplets i created this font.
