A modern twist on classic black letter type gothic fonts. I was inspired by modern contemporary branding with how they produce formal and high class products with an urban/grunge aesthetic.
"Crypt" Is a gothic, serif font, inspired by the decorative and intricate details within many cathedrals and church architecture, influenced by such features such as stained glass, gargoyles, petroglyphs and spires.

This font was created as part of my university work, I have created the work by picking a random theme (dangerous) I then researched and brainstormed words which relate to dangerous and then created ideas on things I had seen I liked in other fonts. I linked my theme to the grunge style of work as I think this was appropriate to do so. I wanted my font to look quite messy but at the same time readable. I wanted the font to look quite 'squared' in style as to round as I feel it looks better structurally.

For this type face I was inspired by the posters created for the iconic music venue The Fillmore in San Francisco in the 60s and 70s. I wanted the letter forms to look hand crafted and lose, but still easily legible which was difficult using a grid and blocks! Some of the thickness and curves still need to be improved and I am currently working on a second draft with different up strokes on the Bs, Ds etc.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
