This Fontstruction captivates the atmosphere of the seaside, combining playfulness and the motion of the water.
This was for a project called "Found Type" for the Graphics Design course at UWE Bristol.
I picked the theme 'fluid' and looked at how it can represent hundreds of different designs.
For my font I purposely tried to avoid the obvious idea of drips or water droplets and went for something more subtle. I chose the sans-serif style as I prefer modern type to traditional, but also because it looks cleaner and flows better when written out.
I looked specifically at pictures of the seaside from the 20th century as the beaches were busier and livelier, so I tried to encapsulate the vibrancy into a font without over-complicating the design.
