I have always loved Grafitti and although impossible to capture the spontaneity of spraying the underpass or my neighbour's wall, here is a possible alternative!

This took me for absolutely ever. I haven't produced anything for ages because i have been revising and having exams and stuff and just didn't feel like making anything. I've been in and out of this font for about 2-3 months. I think this helped me as to not just to keep producing the similar letters each time. I may add some more characters later just im a bit bored of it to be honest. I do like it, its just that it was a lot of effort. I hand drew most letters, and the others I copied and tweaked. Hope you like it!

"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!
