AH Machina is a font I made 'cuz I liked the A, basically. The N is weird, I know, but there's really no way to fix it save making it SUPER long or intersecting the other side (which I don't want to do) or something.
This is my first typeface made in Fontstruct and it is a part of my degree. The theme of the project is “Rebirth”. With this Fontstruction I am trying to revamp some of the typefaces being used for headlines and drop caps in books or newspaper. I am aiming for a more boxy and modern look, by some separations in the structure of the letters. My main inspiration came from sci-fi books and encyclopedias.
Circus (Decorative font)
This is a clone of Bevan's DecorativeDistressed is an uppercase font focusing on the theme destruction. Within this element I looked more specifically at mental health and how social media has an affect on our mental wellbeing. I created a cracked and distressed effect on each individual letter to visually express the pressure and insecurity we can experience from social media.
This fontrusction was created for the theme 'community'. Titled, 'Social Bubble' I aimed to represent how Covid-19 has affected our social lives. The reason for the different styles for each letter is to express how everyone's situation is different, however I did keep some consistency for aesthetic purposes. The bitmap style also represents how social interaction has become more digital due to people not being able to see each other face to face.
This bold, swirling font draws its inspiration from the theme of 'Protect'. Within this theme, I looked into how people use crystals to protect their aura, soul, and mental and physical health. I thought about the contrasts that crystals have - smooth, curved and polished but also jagged and rough. I created pixelated curves using fontruct bricks to emulate this as well as adding the 'shine' that crystals give off.
My font is based on the Ministry of Transportation building in Georgia. The building itself is inspired by Japanese Metabolism architecture. Which is a moventment inspired by growth and adapabilty. I wanted my font to feel as though you could stack and change it just like Metabolism architecture.
