I constructed this font with the idea of wires 'trapping' the letters. I wanted the font to be sans-serif, looking like Futura/Gill Sans. My theme was 'energetic' and at first I was looking more into food specifically and how we gain energy but then I took a different approach trying out different ways that I can portray electricity. Finally, I experimented with cutting out letters from pizza cardboard boxes and putting wires around them to try and make the digital fontstruct version look more realistic and accurate.

my final entry in ScriptComp. all the great work that has been on display during the competition really motivated me to do this. i have done other electricity-inspired fonts, but this one is different from those being it is an electric script or at least what i was able to envision. i think perhaps since i live in the lightning capital of the world (Orlando, supposedly) maybe also had a part in it. this was challenging and fun. tried not to reply too much on the copy and paste, although i'm afraid that's my great challenge when using FS - not to be too obviously modular and really making each character as unique as possible. thanks for the motivation, guys:) and good luck everyone. note: please do not redsitribute and repost this font elsewhere. thanks.

Conduit is a display font inspired by electricity pylon designs from around the world. Each letter has a sturdy, structured look, featuring latticed crossbeams and a thick angular outline. Conduit is great for making an impact if used sparingly, but not so good for large bodies of text. It’s also well suited to larger sizes, showing off it’s detailed structure and utilising it’s bold design to the fullest.This is a clone

This is a typeface based on the word dynamic, I looked into electricity, and thought that circuit boards would be a great sector to look at. Using parallel lines and consideration of the way the type flows.

This typeface has been created based on the theme "Energy". During my research, I have been exploring "Energy" from different points of view, from the essence of it, to scientific bases and other concepts like positive and negative energy in different contexts. The work has been inspired by the scientific way, more concretely in Nikola Tesla's experiments in the area. I found interesting how energy is created in a specific point and spreads creating different shapes. The typeface is also inspired by "Futura" typeface due to the time relationship between the creation of it and the experimentation period of Tesla. This is meant to be a display typeface, but I think it can work in a medium or big size. It ended up being quite "blocky", which I am not sure about, so all comments are welcome.

As part of a project for my graphic design course at UWE, our brief was to create a typeface based on a theme. I chose vibration as my theme as I explored my theme I was drawn to line graphs which help record the frequency of sounds. I wanted my typeface to resemble this like it was on an ECG monitor. I also looked at John Skelton’s pinpression typeface which truly inspired my font, having continuous lines connecting all of the characters was very important and finding his work showed me that it was possible. This is my first attempt at creating a typeface and there are still alterations that need to be done.

First use of FontStruct, suggestions and improvements welcome. Inspired by energy transfer, the connection between one object and the next. Looked at power and electricity, and then turned to the ordered, structural make up of the electricity pylons which span our countryside. This is what I came up with.This is a clone
