‘Unstable’ was the word I used as a starting point in order to create this font. I was inspired by smoke from my incense sticks as it created such interesting patterns as it burnt away. I wanted to show the movement of smoke in each letter and make it appear delicate and elusive, like it could disappear at any minute.

Error is typeface desinged to feel like static glitching - inspired by the theme 'unstable'. 

This typeface is inspired by the novel Herzog - in which a man with an unstable mind, who writes letters to ghosts, writes in the most delicate and held together handwriting. I want to show the idea of an unstable mind through this font, seemingly controlled and held together, but inside, something isn't stable.

A display typeface designed in relation to the theme 'Unstable'. It is inspired by digital glitches in video game and telvevision.  

This is a font that I designed in relation to the word ‘unstable’. My font is inspired by the classic block game Jenga where players take in terns to pull a block hopefully not knocking over the tower. With this font, I am trying to communicate that although something might look stable, one subtle movement could cause it to come tumbling down.

My font was inspired by the way pixels have been used by other designers in the late 20th century, in particular, Peter Saville’s Original die-cut sleeve album cover for New Order’s Blue Monday single, Wim Crowel’s new alphabet used by Brett Wickens in Joy Division’s compilation album Substance cover. The font was modeled on digitalized letters. To produce it I have used techniques from traditional calligraphy (drawing, use of pencil and ink on paper) to create an effect usually generate instantaneously by computer coding in order to stress the tension between the finished piece and the production behind it. The tension between the two and the uncertainty are represented in the font by the missing and misplaced pixels in each letter.

A display typeface based upon some physical type I made from dark food colouring etched into sugar syrup - this is the second part in which the food dye has bled into the sugar syrup much more. This was to represent the brief theme I picked of 'unstable', hence why all the characters are completely induvidual in size and shape. I have also published a first version of this type before the dye bled into the syrup. 

A display typeface (probably best viewed small, I'm aware!) based upon some physical type I made from dark food colouring etched into sugar syrup. This was to represent the brief theme I picked of 'unstable', hence why all the characters are completely induvidual in size and shape. I have also published a second version which displays what happens when the food colouring bled into the sugar syrup. 

Priceless is a font primarily based on the changes that technology has on the way that society spends money. Noticibaly, the 21st century the world around us has accelerated and revolutionised the methods that we use to pay. It has become incredibly easy to spend money with the click of a button. This has resulted in the use of cash slowly diminish and it is believed that one day in the future, cash will be completely removed from the way people give and recieve capital.

This font was created around the theme word 'unstable'. One definition of unstable is 'prone to psychiatric problems or sudden changes of mood', for which many people have to take medication. I created this font out of pills (medication) to symbolise the theme. It is intended to be used to raise awareness of the fact that 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year.

This font was created around the theme of unstable. It was developed from shapes and structures of scaffolding. I began looking at how each part of scaffolding is pivotal in creating a solid structure and if a part was to be removed it would become unstable and collapse. Each letter form is molded from different parts of a scaffolding frame, such as c-clips etc.  The outcome was very engineered/mechanical and is probably best used as a display font for businesses.

For our font project I chose the theme unstable as this word interested me the most. From taking images of cracked surfaces around Bristol I decided that I would focus on this as my theme looking at unstable surfaces as found this an interesting topic to focus on. From my photography I created drawings of cracked paint work and then from these I used the crack drawings to create the shapes of my font creating the letters themselves. I feel my font is very unique and original. 

I made this typeface with the image of a duck in mind. I used the charasteristic of a duck to make this more duck- like, however it is still far from my expectation and is still very unstable. I greatly encourage any kind of comments. I want to make this better in the future.

Starting with the word Unstable I have created this set of three fonts to show the breakdown of letterforms. Starting with Awe Fixed the letterforms are perfectly legible and stand quite tall and bold. Awe Shatter shows breaks within the letterforms as if shattered, while still legible the font still gives a very unstable feel. Awe Broken is the final font of the set which shows the letters in pieces.
