My font is based on the Ministry of Transportation building in Georgia. The building itself is inspired by Japanese Metabolism architecture. Which is a moventment inspired by growth and adapabilty. I wanted my font to feel as though you could stack and change it just like Metabolism architecture.
A typeface that provides you with a glimpse into brickwork construction.
Monospace lowercase and duospace uppercase (double the width of lowercase), with negative-space diacritics.
Strong tensile and compressive strength (works well stretched, squeezed, and warped in general).
I made this font because I like that the letters could be written in a vertical stack, horizontal row, or clumped (though I didn't make them touch vertically here, as was my intention).
I only created capital letters, and there are a minimal number of glyphs available.
I'm also aware that some of the letters are difficult to read; I was trying to keep the amount of design within each box low, though I'd appreciate improvements for letters like: P,U,V,L,F and for the punctuation.
My design was influenced by walls, barriers, and the requirement for a division between our built and natural environments in order to protect us. I am a first-year student at UWE Bristol studying Graphic Design, and I made this digital typeface in response to this year's subject, "PROTECT."
