This typeface was galvanized from the word 'protect', with the letters made up of spikes influenced by the spikes on the skin of animals such as hedgehogs and porcepines which protect them from predators, and the spikes on plants which protect them in the same way.
This display typeface was inspired by the return to traditional Celtic iconography within the insular manuscripts of 6th Century Britain. Each letter is highly ornamented, incorporating chains of interlinked geometry that translate the flowing forms of Celtic knots into the grid based format of Fonstruct.
My font Slash, is based off of the theme "protect". I chose to base my type on different swords including fantasy based designs. The tip and edges of the letters are based on different sort of tips on swords. This gives my font a sharp and dangerous feel which links to swords.
i looked around bristol at different grafitti. i found depending on the area where the grafitti was depended on what it looked like. differnet cultural settings such as city centre and clifton showed differnt styles. i focused my project on grafitti i found around Bearpit in city centre, looking at the quick and carefree grafitti around it.
I created a typeface that represented stone letter carving. My inspiration came from carved street names throughout the City of Bath and from pictures I had taken and other research, I thought it would be interesting to look at the use of positive and negative space throughout my lettering.
My typeface is inspired by the lettering that people vandalise park benches with by scratching intials or short phrases onto them. It is a jagged font replicating the inability to scratch curves effectively when using a knife on metal or wood. The characters vary slightly in size in order to achieve a hand made effect.
The idea for my font was inspired by the style of Art Deco, and more specifically tiling. I made sure to use the key elements of art deco - which is geometry, elongated lettering, a regular and bold mix, all-caps, arched and decorative details. I was inspired by designers such as A.m Cassandre and Tony Forster. Often Art Deco designs have ornate details - so I have tried to include this by having a specific, unique element that carries through most of the letters.
A typeface loosely based around Robert Perine's logo for Fender, characterised by natural, fluid shapes. The aim was to construct each letterform with minimal 'brushstrokes' - further details are captured with smaller, flicks/strokes. Additionally, the texture is supposed to mimick inkblots when using a fountain pen, for example.
For this font I was inspired by elegant and decorative type. I looked at old English style and modern cursive fonts to inform my design. My font would be described as script, pixelated, and formal, using thick and thin strokes, ligatures, and fluid strokes to simulate handwriting.
The origin of this design was me thinking about all the times I have seen a poster or ad, where the modern style of the typography has had success trying communicate the message that was intended. It became a personal goal to create a font that would unite a piece of my personal life, which in this case it is the city where I was born and my chosen style. My country is known for having many volcanos, so I decided to place elements that would represent the volcano but at the same time keeping the modern style. The circles in each letter imitate the view of a volcano from above, it is subtle but it is there, and to me will always be fascinating when we get to discover new information when it is explained by the artist, but it was always there, however, we were not able to see it through the artist’s point of view.
Inspired by the iconic analogue synthesizers of the 1980s and audio in its rawest form.
Juno is primarily built around the basic shapes of the Square, Triangle and Sawtooth waveforms. Each glpyh is specifically designed to be as unique as possible and incorporates a mixture of left and right diagonal cut-throughs in order to maximise legibility.
This is a cloneMy inspiration for this font was Tim Burtons typeface that was used throughout his films. I was also inspired by the old VHS tapes and the way they would glitch out sometimes making the typefaces look a little odd at times. I decided to make mine look a little off in some places with some letters to show the inspiration from this along with a little hint of Tim Burton's style.
Whilst designing my typeface i decided to explore the places i live near on stokes croft and study the typefaces they use for their branding, Its mainly pubs and music venues that stand out to me so i attempted to create a font that i could imagine on the face of a cosy candlelit music venue/pub. It ended up looking more like it should belong outside CEX but i tried :o
A font inspired by a combination of old gothic and block type, designed for bigger bodies of text and mastheads, using this font for smaller paragraphs would result in less legibility. I aimed to combine the straight and structured characteristics of slab serif block fonts and the artistic elements of gothic fonts. As a result i have created Ribbon Edge, a clear typeface with stylized ends.
This is a cloneInspired by the digital aspect of CDs and DVDs, I decided to create a font that takes influence from The Prodigy's 1992 album "Experience" which is an album that I used to listen to as a child on my CD player. I liked the use of soft yet harsh lines and ovals hidden in between circles, along with the mismatched uppercase and lowercase letters. I tried my best to make the font seem clean cut and smooth but I am not the best at using this website so far haha so I will need some more practise, especially in the K, W, X and Z letters as the diagonal sides were confusing to make.
This typeface is based on the hand-painted names seen on the side of canal boats. The inconsistent, grainy texture of each letter is meant to represent the irregularities in using paint, for example the general wear and tear from the elements like chipped or peeling edges. This was my approach to the idea of “analogue” and a brief set to explore what that means. To me, in the context of the brief, analogue could be defined as possessing a nostalgic or "old school" quality- something replicated in an unauthentic manner in order to create a look-alike imitation of a time gone by. I focused on the old method of transport in Bristol: boats.
Slim Deco is a stylised sans serif font inspired by the ever-enduring Art Deco era. This font has clean, modern lines and decorative accents which are subtle yet set the style perfectly.
Luxurious and visually striking, Slim Deco is set in all caps and therefore best suited for larger sizes, such as headline copy, magazine covers, movie titles, brand identities, coffee shop menus, posters etc.
This font takes you back to the roaring 1920s, the clinking of champagne glasses, the sound of jazz music and the bustling of people at fabulous parties. No matter how you use Slim Deco it will be seen as a glamorous and distinct font with strong shapes and architectural leanings that will creative an eye catching design.
I chose to base this font on a deck of cards to play into the idea of complex simplicity. Playing cards start off as the most simplistic form of gameplay where games vary in complexity all the way from go fish snap to bridge and poker.
I am a graphic design student at UWE bristol. I have created a digital typeface inspired by bristol docks, i looked alot at the hooks on the cranes and used the shapes from that and other machinery for the structure of my letters.
A Font that pays homage to early 16th Century Gothic design in both Literature and Architecture. The sharp angles and jagged edges depict the ideas of the era and the pioneers of this time - bringing that into a modern representation with a serif style and italic Fontstruct.
I am a first year student at UWE and was tasked with creating a font from scratch as one of my tasks. I have decided to re design my font as though the previous font fit the Jazz theme much better, I feel this font not only feels more natural but is more unique as well. This type of style is based on a mix between music notes as well as piano keys to envoke the idea that music is involved in the creation of this font.

This is a clone of 1st Draft of Analogue FizzI ran with the concept of 'analouge fun', inspired by boardgames and playing cards. I wanted to display the opulent elements of ferns and botanical motifs found on vintage cards, and the caligraphic typefaces found on older baordgames but also contrast that with 'node like' elements and squared off features to represent the sort of stepping-stones on a game board.
CODESPHERE:
THE INSPIRATION FOR MY FONT WAS DRAWN FROM RETRO, MORE SPECIFICALLY FONTS USED ON COMPUTERS FROM THIRTY TO FORTY YEARS AGO. MY GOAL WAS TO ACHIEVE A SENSE OF NOSTALGIA IN PEOPLE WHO PLAYED THE FIRST COMPUTER GAMES. CODING ALSO WAS A BIG PART OF MY INSPIRATION FOR THE FONT.
