This font is inspired by retro, old school tech and has a nostalgic feel to it. Its pixellated feel and angular letters really highlight this, and Ziggy is simple yet effective. Its simplicity is its biggest strength as it makes this font versatile, and easy to read.
A blocky font inspired by the keys on keypads in old school phone booths. Basic sans seriff letters with an outer box- mirroring the texture of a worn and used phonebooth keypad. i wanted the letters to appear that they had been selected so many times that the paint has been worn down.
I wanted to create a typeface based on the theme analogue. I chose to look into records and wanted to explore how they look if you smashed one and tried to piece together a letter with the shards and remaining sections.
I designed this typeface with the theme 'Analogue' and 'Lo-fi' given in my UWE Graphic Design course. I decided on a simple design that takes from a blend of sharp and flowy sewing tools such as threads, ribbons, tape measures and needles, scissors, seam rippers. I liked the juxtaposition of the sharp & flowy products, and the way they blend together so well despite being so opposing.
I made this typeface with the set theme 'Analogue' and 'Lo-fi' given in my graphics design course. I decided on a huamn vs computer style in reference to the analogue theme (as if a computer had attempted to make a hand-drawn font) and its imperfections in reference to the Lo-fi theme (where a computer would fall short of being about to recreate natural human touch). Only the upper case letters have this effect, I made a simple sans serif font to pair with the main upper case letters.
AllOnTape. inspired by the idea of casette tapes and audio reel tapes I have produced my own twist on a reel tape font and have tried to incorporate aspects of said tape into these letters in the natural flow of tape but also the proprties of it. Some letters take on more accurate aspects than others but overall they share the same qualities, this font is most effective when at a large size or close distance as the details are most important.
This is a cloneI created this font as a response to a brief that I was set in Graphic Design, the theme that I had chosen was analogue and I decided to look at retro game consoles as well as sci-fi films from the 70s, which inspired this font.
This typeface, inspired by the shapes and nature of modern housing, embodies a striking blocky and geometric aesthetic that reflects contemporary design principles. I aimed for the typeface to feature recurring patterns, akin to the clean lines and structured forms found in modern residential architecture, which help create a harmonious blend. Its distinctive shapes and bold presence make it an ideal choice for projects seeking to convey a sense of modernity and innovation while remaining approachable and readable.
This font was inspired by roughly 12th and 13th century manuscripts. Prior to the invention of the printing press in the second half of the 15th century, hand-made copies of texts and books (manuscripts) were the only system for preserving and transmitting knowledge, and complemented learning by heart, which played a much more important role then than it does today. I took a more digitalised approach, but still not straying away from its calligraphic character.
This typeface was designed in response to a brief set by my Graphic Design course at UWE with the theme of Analogue. I took it in the direction of clock hands as I thought it would be an interesting way to portray time. I played around with different thicknesses and arrow placements before settling on this final design.
This is a cloneThis is a font that I created based on the themed 'Analogue and Lo-Fi' where I focused on Ordnance Survey maps. I wanted to focus on the geomtery and shapes of roads that are on the maps and include gaps between the letterforms to represent different roads.
This typeface - 'Ghost In The Shell' is based on a science fiction/futuristic theme and genre. More specifically the cyberpunk subgenre of science fiction and the futurism movement. I aimed for this typeface to look like something you will see in an aspect of a science fiction movie like Blade Runner or Alien or Akira. Often, sci fi typography will have elements added to it in order to make it look more 'alien' and out of this world. For example, parts missing from characters so they are incomplete but still legible. I have attempted to emulate this design concept in my typeface.
I created this font focusing on the theme 'analogue'. I researched further into this word to really break down my project brief and was inspired at the fact analogue concepts are most often parrallel to another concept, for example I have taken inspiration from filmstrips which are an analogue concept of digital photographs.
"Mystic Psychedelic" derives from the deep appreciation for the design evolution of the ‘60s and ‘70s, where innovation in printmaking and typography played a pivotal role in shaping cultural movements. The sleek minimalism and vibrant screen-printing techniques of the era allowed for intricate, bold designs that captured the attention of the masses. Inspired by artist, Victor Moscoso and Rick Griffin, and the rise of diverse music genres during the ‘70s, each with its own distinct visual identity, encouraged to exploring typefaces that reflect the era’s rebellious spirit. By merging the groovy, free-form aesthetics of Funk and Psychedelic Rock with the raw, distressed edge of Punk and Heavy Metal, the created font that evokes the boldness and energy of this transformative period in design and music. Although the limitations of fontstruct created harsh ridgid edges, the font still reflects symbols and imagery inspired by the era.
‘Ripped paper’ is a graffiti inspired font focusing specifically on texture and imperfection. The influence taken from punk and grunge styles, as well as artist Chris Ashworth's idea of 'Swiss Grit'. The use of many different fontstruct bricks allows the font to achieve the messy pixelated texture. The font style was created originally from experimentation with ripping paper, hence the name.
after research around the theme 'analogue' i was interested in the true defintion of the word being similar and i wanted to look more into ideas of repated shapes and patterns. i also wanted to include inspiration from my own ideas of 'analogue' which to me means a regimented and set process. i have designed this font to reflect analogous structures in nature meaning forms that are similar or seen as repeated. i drew inspiration from autumnal and wintery natural forms such as leaves, twigs, snowflakes and wildlife to add details to my lettering. i chose this theme for my imagery as i wanted to also demonstrate the seasons being an 'analogue' cycle as it is a process that always repeats itself and never changes. the name of the font is also inspired by the autumn equinox which again is a natural event that always takes place. i wanted to achieve a universal look to the whole alphabet which i feel i have done by using the curved fontsruct pixels to give the natural forms a slightly abstract look.
This typeface was initally inspired by the design of 1970's & 80s Atari consoles. As it developed, it gained a nice handmade feel, like it could have been crafted from wire or stitched into fabric.
This is a cloneInspired by the analogue method of creating that is Hama Beads, I wanted to take the idea of something so simple from my childhood, and make it into a font, that uses the imperfections to make it all the more interesting.
This is a clone'Patty Polk did this and she hated every stitch she did in it.'
My outcome for a UWE project focusing on analogue technologies/processes. My interpretation of this brief caused me to research stitch samplers - especially those made by young children in the 19th and early 20th centuries, which were often charmingly wonky and resentful of being made to create such intricate samplers. My font aims to playfully display the instances of human error and irregularities that are present in hand stitching/embroidery, as well as to replicate as convincingly as possible the look of stitched type.
A font based on the theme of anologue for the project "What the font?" ae UWE for Graphic Design BA (Hons). The process for this font began with looking at anologue media like records and how it's digital theme of music relates to young people to day. The outcome of this was dancing so I wanted to make a font reflecting that.
This font intends to imitate the rolling letters of an old analog screen. Often found at train stations, airports and similar facilities.
It is a relativley simple and non-optimized font so far. Feel free to leave me a comment with suggestions for optimization or any flaws you may find.
