Display Font, Inspired by architecture and design in my neighborhood, somewhat inspired by Escher as well. Original concept for design came from old horror film script. This works better in a larger size, great for display. Modular script.

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.

Part of my "Found Type" project at UWE where we had to design a font for a theme that we chose.
I chose Saintly.
Throughout my research, I looked at the architecture of churches, the similarities in there designs and how certain shapes could easily be recognised as being linked to that type of architecture.
I then started looking at Dante Alghieri's Divine Comedy and the illustrations by John Flaxman and Gustav Doré.
At first it became difficult trying to figure out how to implement this into a font, but then I took on a challenge,
Would it be possible to get Doré's engravings into the font.
Then another thought crossed my mind, how do images look when compressed to low pixel quality sizes and how they are still recognisable.
So I did that, I bought a book of Doré's illustrations for the divine comedy, and they started to build into the letters.
Each letter also has this Art Deco like area to it which went well for the Stain Glass Window approach I also wanted in the design.
It took a lot of practice to get this right, and there was a fair amount of copy and pasting here and there but overall I'm quite happy with the turn out.
I hope you all enjoy!

A font style Designed to resemble Elven buidlings instead of the elven script
Note: some of the letters *may* be wrong, fontstruct keeps changing some of the blocks on me :/

'Walking' is a font I have created based on several aspects of the theme 'repetition'. I looked at the repetitive motions we act out as humans, such as walking across a path several times but in different manners, writing a sentence over and over again, and even aspects of a typefaces personality such as serifs which repeat over and throughout this font. I wanted the font to convey not only the personalities of those who repeat actions, but also that of myself and my own mannerisms through the mixtures between symmetrical and non symmetrical characters. I chose to keep this an uppercase typeface based on the way that text looks when it is all in caps - like someone is shouting; and this, again relates to my theme of repetition in that of monotonous volumes and voices. I really wanted to explore the physical connotations of repetition.

First time using FontStruct. Inspired by modern architecture and simplicty in building design. Focusing on windows, this typeface is designed to look like lit up windows in tall tower blocks, which are often associated with the classic 'city skyline'.

To explore he theme of pompous I have been studying Georgian era culture, from fashion to buildings they where always trying to better one another. I have tried to recreate this by creating towering characters based on Georgian architecture. I believe this font could work on an architectural magazine or other construction based advert.

So what's your suite look like?
A set of lowercase alphabets based on elements of an architectural floor plan. Each letter is a "room," equips with partition, stair, table, window, or a bed.
After constructing you word, be sure to print it out, take a red pen and guide yourself through the rooms; no matter the arrangement, you will be able to travel from beginning to end.
Designer Features:
letter "o" features a central balcony looking down below.
letter "v,"w" have a wedged corner; perfect for study area.
letter "x" and "i" are grand staircases, boosting the grandeur of your creation!
Hope you will enjoy this unique typeface, and feedback welcome!

Full set. It's thick & thin, bold & chunky. If it were soup, you would eat it with a fork. That's Kerchunka...ka-ching!
