I created this hand written font based around one of the most protective materials used by parents to safeguard their children, specifically cotton wool balls. I arranged the cotton balls to create the structure of each character and then scanned the image into the computer to create the digitilised version. I decided I wanted to create the font in a handwritten, childish/immature style taking inspiration from the logos and typography used on children's books and shops.
This is my first fontstruction, created whilst studying graphic design at UWE Bristol. I experimented using script brushes and calligraphy on Procreate and also tried to incorporate some of my own handwriting to make it more personal. The font is blocky and cursive to represent how people see hope and good in the bad. Our paths in life are never smooth sailing.
My try at a handwritten font on a small scale, the fuzzy preview amplifies the effect!
Feel free to comment any other ways to create a handwritten effect on a small scale!
(and yes, some time or another i will try to tackle a large scale font with faux-curves, just not anytime this month and/or the next one).
A tribute to all those handwritten, rough, and fun fonts!

This is a clone of Wario Land IIThis font is based off the handwriting style you commonly see on placards at protests, but with a digital, pixelated twist. I was aiming for bold, angry, in-your-face lettering, to mimic the anger a lot of protesters feel when marching for their causes. The digital look reflects specifically 2020, because due to the pandemic, so much of our lives have moved online.
