Escalibur is my font that takes inspiration from medival weaponry. Mimicking the sharp blade like formations found on swords and axes during the 1400's, whilst also refrencing the type and imagery seen on playing cards, typically featuring symbols assosiated with chivalry.
This display typeface was inspired by the return to traditional Celtic iconography within the insular manuscripts of 6th Century Britain. Each letter is highly ornamented, incorporating chains of interlinked geometry that translate the flowing forms of Celtic knots into the grid based format of Fonstruct.
My font Slash, is based off of the theme "protect". I chose to base my type on different swords including fantasy based designs. The tip and edges of the letters are based on different sort of tips on swords. This gives my font a sharp and dangerous feel which links to swords.
My inspiration for this font was Tim Burtons typeface that was used throughout his films. I was also inspired by the old VHS tapes and the way they would glitch out sometimes making the typefaces look a little odd at times. I decided to make mine look a little off in some places with some letters to show the inspiration from this along with a little hint of Tim Burton's style.
My typeface is inspired by the style of object posters. I researched into how Before 1900 graphic design expression was rather pictureque and traditional. i looked into how advertisement has changed through time, fluctuation between simplistic and detailed. I researched into many typographers such as Lucian Bernhard (1910) his minemal illustrations and simplistic style a great inspiration. I wanted my typeface to reflect this style. starting each letterform with a square block and then chipping away the letterform. This made me open up to the idea of negative space, keeping my letters super simplistic and bold. my typeface is to be seen more as i image in itself rather a font.
I am a graphic design student at UWE bristol. I have created a digital typeface inspired by bristol docks, i looked alot at the hooks on the cranes and used the shapes from that and other machinery for the structure of my letters.
This typeface is based on the hand-painted names seen on the side of canal boats. The inconsistent, grainy texture of each letter is meant to represent the irregularities in using paint, for example the general wear and tear from the elements like chipped or peeling edges. This was my approach to the idea of “analogue” and a brief set to explore what that means. To me, in the context of the brief, analogue could be defined as possessing a nostalgic or "old school" quality- something replicated in an unauthentic manner in order to create a look-alike imitation of a time gone by. I also designed these letters to look like bubbles on the surface of water, hence the name 'Analogue Fizz'. I focused on the old method of transport in Bristol: boats.
