An improvement of the former (Headless/Tangle, now called Tangled Hairline); This version is bolder and simpler with more striking 'chaos motion' lines. This version is perhaps more decorative looking than the original and definitely more ordered in the sense of the letterforms to enable usability.This is a clone

This version of Global Village is also designed for the use in an E-book I am beginning working on as part of a third year university Graphic Design project.
This version shows how the typeface has been constructed as the individual bricks are slightly seperated from one another.This is a clone of Global village

I am studying in my third year of Graphic Design at the university of the west of England (Bristol UWE). I've been away from fontstruct for over a year now, and over the last few weeks I've seen some of the new first year students using it a lot. I couldn't help but notice the new bricks and brick stacking features that are now available.
I have designed this typeface on a very small scale, to allow for the bezier curves created by the new bricks. I have had to use some creative brick stacking in order to get as much form out of the typeface as I could.
Some of the lowercase glyphs seem to have some similar resemblance to the modernist typeface "universal" by Herbert Bayer. Although "universal" has no uppercase glyphs, whereas mine does!
I am really pleased with this font, so thanks very much to fontstruct for putting in the new features.
When using this font, I recommend that you set the tracking to around -120 or so, and set the kerning to "optical" rather than metrics". The letters will set quite nicely under these settings.
Hope you like it!
- Joe

Rot Sans is the type face inspired by decay to find its place in the horror genre and all things decay. The typeface has been developed as a display font, perfect for a whithered away theme.This is a clone

The idea of this typeface came from my theme of lazy. I first looked at what makes someone lazy and how the world that we live in today as made us this way. We want to achive minimal effort in all that we do and never want to do things ourselves anymore. From this I came up with the idea of buttons. Buttons are to make our life easier for example instead of pushing the door open we press a button to do this for us, which in my opinion is very lazy. We don't realise these buttons are here making us lazy we just go about our daily life not noticing the difference. I also put the buttons on thier side to give more of that lazy, can't be bothered to stand up feel about it.

Influenced by train station displays, till receipts (dot matrix), Germanic runes, stitched patterns, nomadic decoration, grid-based structures, and Connect 4. Created for a Graphic Design Level 1 project with the chosen theme of 'repetition'.

This is my first fontstruction for a typeface project at UWE. I chose to make a font under the theme “repetition” and wanted to create a simple, pixel art styled typeface with certain continuous elements in it to make my theme clear for the viewer. 1Lifer is a display font inspired of gaming culture, especially the 80s' classic arcade games, such as Tetris, early Super Mario Bros. and Space Invaders. I found the tiled shapes used in these games as a helpful resource to creating my own font – 1Lifer is also made from simple, pixel based forms. I was also inspired by the gaming arcades' bright, blinking lights. The name of the font stems from terms in relation to gaming and is a playful merge between the two expressions "1 up" and "no lifer."

This font is the result of some research I did into the word sharp. I looked at deterrents like fences and specifically barbed wire ones. I didn't however want to create a font just using the barbed wire effect. I looked into the effects of barbed wire on pieces of clothing. This is where the tearing idea came from.

This typeface has been created based on the theme 'Vibration'. I tried out a wide range of experimentation when it came to producing hand rendered work, as I felt I needed to work out what would best capture the general sense of the word.
I tried using inks on elastic bands, attaching pens to a playstation controller and drawing, photographing food colouring over a speaker; all sorts. Finally, I decided I needed something which really reflected the word clearly. I looked at the white noise and the trails that you get on the television, and applied this feel to a sans serif font I had made based on Georgia (minus the Serifs)
One of the most time comsuming things I've ever done, hope its been worth it.
Any comments welcome.This is a clone

I produced this for my "communicating with words" on the graphic design course at UWE Bristol, England. It inspired by weight and gravitation. The way different part drop down away from the base lines, it showed the gravitation on earth.

This is my first fontsruction since studying at Uwe. I started looking at decay before looking into wood decay and the fungi and mushrooms that grow from it. Here I have make each letter resemble a mushroom.

This font looks at natural forms in nature such as plants and leaves. It reflects there patterns and organic curves. Each letter has at least one line of symmetry creating a kaleidoscope effect.

This font was inspired by the word chaos. Initially to me chaos meant incoherent mess, but after looking at chaos theory i began looking at ways to order chaos. To show this in my font I have used a regimented typeface with repeated ideas of thick and thin lines, but juxtaposed this restriction by forming the letters with chaotic scribbles.

I created this typeface for a 'Found Type' project basing my designs around the word ornate. I initially focused on more of a traditional outlook, taking inspiration from classical architecture. However as my work progressed i began to take a more subtle response, studying more natural/organic forms as well as pattern design.

Beat the Whites With the Red Wedge, a typeface inspired by the typographic work of the Russian constructivist artists. I wanted to communicate order my typeface, so I researched order within society and this led me to the Russian communist era, constructivism was an art movement within this period. The bold clear typorgraphy of this era influenced me to produce this slab serif version of a constructivist font. I chose to give this font serifs to give an added touch of order and formality. However I do intend to produce a sans serif version and also a bolder, headliner version of the font.
It is a weighty typeface with a strong presence. Due to this nature I would say that the font is best used for subtitles and signange, possibly not main headline text. Also designs that hold an essence of this era.

I made this typeface as part of a project named 'Found Type', basing it on the word 'vibration'. I decided to make my font look like the visual representations of sound, looking at the marks made in the music program GarageBand when I recorded music on it for inspiration.
I created a structured base alphabet, and later added lines to make the letters look like sound waves.This is a clone of piece of pie

By researching the meaning of chaos, I came across the chaos theory, which describes the movement of unpredictability. My font is based on a diagram that explains the movement of chaotic systems. The design of the typeface is based upon helvetica, a clearly legible font over which i added the circular movement seen from the diagram.
My typeface has an element of fun and could be used to promote a relaxing product or experience by using a contrasting idea; chaos. It could also be used to promote electronic music; record labels, album covers, in particular rave or club nights.
This typeface literally causes havoc with your systems; for a more usable, bolder version try Tangle.

Roughly based on the structure of the London underground designed by Harry Beck. Incorporating the slight curves and straight lines into the letter forms. I wanted to create a typeface that was legible as well as well as interesting. This meant that I strayed from the underground theme slightly producing slightly more straight and square letter forms than originally intended.

This is my first fontstruct! :D
It is based on sharp objects, which then evolved onto more of a medical theme and surgery. I wanted it to look really precise with clean cut sections out of the characters. I also interpreted 'sharp' to be 'on point' and 'ordered', so wanted my type to look clean. I was inspired a lot by Bodoni as its such a clean type with contrasting thick and thin lines which also relates to the cutting and slicing.
Any help and tips are welcome!!This is a clone

This font was based on the word pompous. It was created for a typography brief set in my first year at UWE Bristol. From the word pompous I was inspired to look at black letter fonts and ornate styles of decoration. Any feedback would be appreciated! If you use this font within your work please post a link with your final outcome, as its always nice to see your creation in action!

'Walking' is a font I have created based on several aspects of the theme 'repetition'. I looked at the repetitive motions we act out as humans, such as walking across a path several times but in different manners, writing a sentence over and over again, and even aspects of a typefaces personality such as serifs which repeat over and throughout this font. I wanted the font to convey not only the personalities of those who repeat actions, but also that of myself and my own mannerisms through the mixtures between symmetrical and non symmetrical characters. I chose to keep this an uppercase typeface based on the way that text looks when it is all in caps - like someone is shouting; and this, again relates to my theme of repetition in that of monotonous volumes and voices. I really wanted to explore the physical connotations of repetition.

Electrical Energy has opened the doors to whole new worlds of creativity, specifically when it comes to computer technology. The whole concept of video games and computer programming is something we wouldnt have dreamt of being able to do hundreds of years ago. With computer technology getting more advanced everyday, I find it astonishing to see what we have achieved since the very first computers and computer games, and it is mind boggling to think what we may be capable of doing in the future.
