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 grungy rounded sans serif. A mix of three font genres really is awesome...

Scifi font based on the Tesla Motors storefront. I wondered what a full font set based on that theme might look like. All caps, wide font, with open design and strong horizontal lines. This is my first font and I'm going to go ahead and publish it as it's pretty much done, but I might tweak it some as things go on.
If you use this font please drop me a line - I'd love to see how it's used in the wild... Hope you find this useful. Enjoy!This is a clone

A new typeface featuring bold glyphs perfect for posters. It has a retro side to it, the origination of the name 'Retrotype' This will have several clones and makes my first typeface family. Like beate says with his db Backjumps, it's 'perfectly imperfect'. Enjoy my new font!

Typeface inspired by the idea of merging together common graffiti hand style accents with a modern typeface. Meet Gothic and Graffiti in the middle and you have my idea for Open Up.

An update of Curva Old. I fixed up several problems to do with curves in strange places but I kept the old one because the way it was is still a good style. This font and the other one where inspired by a font called Abode and a font called Danube.This is a clone of Curva Old

Based upon the classic nintendo font 'emulogic' (google it.) This is intended for all-caps use, but making lower case letters seemed to be more fun than copy-pasting all the characters.
