I am on the quest to create a modern widely usable font, with an interresting difference. The first stage of this journey began with my wild font "convention", inspired by the shapes of letterforms, found within architectural environments. The second stage of this process was where i created a font called "rebuild", where i have tried to tame the form from my font "convention". In this third font, i have made further drastic changes, to decide on these forms, and create a small font family called "New Build".This is a clone

Sans Vs Serif was done for my Graphic Design course. It is built around the idea of chaos and fuses characters from Georgia and Futura Italic, one sans-serif, one serif.

Designed as part of a university project. I studied ornate Circus and Carnival style lettering which often incorporate intricate detailing within the letters. I have attempted to blend a particular lattice pattern with blackletter-style letter forms.

This is my second fontstruction for a project during the first term of my study in Graphic Design at UWE.
I have based this typeface on a similar (un-named) font that has been found in a Typefounders Catalogue dated before 1955, I really liked a lot of the ornate qualities and decided to bring this forgotten typeface into the modern day by replicating features of it through this digital medium.

A project dealing with the subject of order for UWE's communicating with words project at degree graphic design. Inspiration coming from the traffic system, in particular the way that junctions have been designed to direct traffic and keep order at the same time.

A typeface created as part of our first project on the Graphic Design course at UWE. The project was to centre a typeface around a theme and to create the typeface on Fontstruct. My chosen theme was Motion. I chose to use the motion of water for the basis of my project and used its properties to distort and disfigure popular serif typefaces. After many experiments with baths, basins and trips to the local fountains Alphawet was created.

"Blimey!" is a typeface inspired by the 1970s Punk movement- paying notice to the political, economical and social issues of the time and how they affected what we commonly refer to as the “Punk Aesthetic”. Ransom note lettering, stencils, silkscreen printing and the appropriation of current cultural imagery aided the movement to deliver its important message of rebellion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Starting off with the theme "Dangerous", my focus for this project drifted to the definitions of both “rebellion” and “anarchy”. This naturally led me to the Punk movement and how it’s graphic style has been adopted into contemporary design practice. These graphics were often rough, raw, weathered and distressed- all of which I’ve tried to incorporate into my own type’s design. Ironically, the fact that this “style” is being used for commercial gain goes against the very foundations of Punk itself. This realisation spurred on the font’s name Blimey!, an ironic expression that is perhaps the furthest away from punk itself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This typeface would be best utilised in consideration to posters, flyers and possibly book covers (providing the content matches the attitude of the font). Thank you very much, all comments are welcome!

This font is a response to the Type project in 1st year at UWE. This first fontstruction and typeface was based on the theme of Disintegration. I conducted research by looking into video games, digital glitches and how deterioration and decay impacts both the visual quality and deferred meaning. This font can also represent deinterlacing. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

This font was based around the theme 'Messy'.
I took inspiration from the imperfect calligraphy of Gemma O'Brien.
I like the way her letterforms seem like they've been drawn out quickly and I tried to recreate this in Fontstruct.
Another thing I looked at was how some artists used anything as a pen, so for this I tried a few unconventional things to create patchy looking type.
I ended up using an old rubber brake pad for a bicycle, I think this looked nice because of its shape and rigidity.
I think this embodies my theme well because it has the sketchy marks and generally untidy qualities.This is a clone
