This font was created around the theme of unstable. It was developed from shapes and structures of scaffolding. I began looking at how each part of scaffolding is pivotal in creating a solid structure and if a part was to be removed it would become unstable and collapse. Each letter form is molded from different parts of a scaffolding frame, such as c-clips etc. The outcome was very engineered/mechanical and is probably best used as a display font for businesses.
This is based on a beautiful copper-wood-stained glass door of an Art Nouveau building, letters Q, O and Y were the first ones to echo the door's design. The other glyphs needed more thinking about and experimentig to maintain the style.
I still have to make diacritics used in my favourite languages. The LC will be like the UC because it makes typing easier. I'll work on it in December to get it finished for greeting cards. For the moment this stays All Rights Reserved.
Gloria is inspired by 1930's architecture. The theme for this idea is ‘destructive'. I looked at the exterior of buildings and the disappearance and destruction of 1930's architecture and the art deco era and style. The font is a combinination of curves and straight edges which expresses the style of architecture from that time. The detail on the letters will look better at a larger scale so it would be best for display. Anyone wanting to convey a period time or the art deco movement this is the font for you.
