Clone of PIXELA CYR featuring some changes of the Cyrillic letters along with even more additional (extra) characters for Cyrillic and Latin. Note: it's a work-in-progress... more letters will be added in the future... this typeset may also receive a slightly differing derivative one day... EDIT1: I added support for the Finnish letters "å (Å)", "ä (Ä)" and "ö (Ö)".
This is a clone of PIXELA CYRI wanted to create my font based around the theme of cracks in buildings. I took Inspiration from the formation of cracks in buildings. Everyone is familiar with cracks in bricks, concrete blocks and walls of houses and how some of these cause structural instability. They take on all sorts of shapes and sizes. They can start thin and then widen following a zig zag path between points that resembles a lightening bolt. I want to recreate this cracking within my font. I started with a font style that had curves and straight edges associated with different building styles. I then constructed cracks from potential weak spots in the letters. I diffused the edges of these cracks to try and demonstrate crumbling concrete.
This font is based on the word 'systematic'. I started looking at more digital fonts, for example, the font on your average digital alarm clock, but i moved towards glitches, finding a way to make a glitch font exciting, i looked at glitches in screens but that's been done hundreds of times. I thought about human glitches such as memory loss, i researched alzheimer's and dimentia and got a lot of inspiration from that. Forgetica- a play on words.
Zakhrafa is a type of Islamic art which consists of embellished geometric designs. It is often used to complement Arabic calligraphy on architecture to bookcovers and various media. The inspiration of this font comes from the various Islamic patterns that can be seen on buildings all across Qatar. After living there for 8 years, I learned a lot about the Islamic culture which is what I want the font to reflect.
This is a cloneMy font was created with the idea of mess and chaos in mind with each letter having a different 'contents'
It is supposed to represent something similar to pin and string art. The white dots representing the pins and the lines within representing the string. It might come across as a little complicated or hard to distinguish each letter however I think it gives it an authentic look.
Pollute is a font inspired by the theme 'destructive'. The creation of this Fontstruct was influenced by harmful and destructive emissions produced by farming.
The irregular structure of each letter suggests the way in which emissions and gases warp. Although rounded, the edges are sharp, portraying the destructive nature of emissions. The circular blocks, some hollow and some solid, represent the structure of gas. The 3D look I was aiming to produce from the centre of each letter was difficult to create, and therefore my design was limited.
This is my fonstruct, my letters are based on the words and themes of Filth and Obscenity. I was inspired by instagram models, life drawing and delicate fabric. I was influenced by body shapes, delicacy of satin and the detail of patterns found at the hem of the womens underwear. I wanted to subvert the image of filth with something more elegant and fine.
Words are often read by looking at the shape and not spelling, what I have attempted to do with this typeface is to make the reader focus more on the letters within the words.
As the name suggests, Balky can be awkward to read due to some of the letters looking similar, as well as its chunky build, making people have to use the context of the sentence. I hope this will make an impact on how well people engage with some text as well as being aesthetically interesting.
This is a cloneCārakkaṭṭu means "scaffolding" in the oldest language in the world: Tamil. Why use Tamil and what does this have to do with this font? Well, Tamil is the foundation of all modern languages, it is the earliest form of verbal communication. I am exploring what makes a building stable or unstable, so; you need strong foundations for a good building, but scaffolding if it becomes unstable. Cārakkaṭṭu represents the foundations of a building that has become unstable, and needs to be repaired again.
This typeface shows impracticality and functionless. Like a decoration, this type has no function or use beyond being just something to look at. Each character is collapsing downwards with the different shapes in each letter slipping apart from each other. Some letters have completely collapsed whereas others are still falling apart.
This is Chicken Lickin'. It was inspired by the word Lurid and follows an odd train of thought back to my year 5 teacher. She would always wear lurid clothing and a nickname I had at the time was 'Chicken legs' which came from the parents of the football team I played for in my youth, Clapham Colts.
This font was designed around the theme of 'Dangerous'. It was inspired by fencing I documented around Bristol. I mainly used photos I took from around Clifton & industrial estates as a referenc as the designs majorly differed and I wanted to intertwine these differences to create a universal font that can reflect this. Regardless of design of fencing in each area - the ultimate purpose is to keep you out of their property.
FORWARD- I wanted to create a font in which felt like it had movement. I also wanted it to relate to codeing and glitching, so it had a technical feel. This font connects together, even when re-arranged. This was put in place to lead the viewer through the text so that they felt they were being lead into a digital world. I wanted This Font to be Energetic and hectic, and i feel like ive done this with the use of smaller pixels breaking up the thicker and more readable lettering.
This is a cloneInspired by perspective and architectural drawings, this font was a response to the word 'systematic'. The purpose for the design of the font was to create the effect of seeing each letter in two different perspectives. I was initally inspired by my grandad, who was an architect, showing me some of the designs he had drawn throughout his career and seeing how complex and techinal each one was, and how by using perspective you can create a three-dimensional effect on a two-dimensional scale.
'STANDARD' - This font was influenced by systematic shapes and objects.
I looked at stencils and stamps and the forms they create and incorporated this idea by constructing gaps in each character to create an overall stencil style.
Each character is the same width and height and almost bound by how much space they fill. I found similar patterns and rules in systematic objects which is why I tried to incorporate that into my font.
This is a font inspired by the word decorative. It uses letterforms that have been flipped and rotated multiple times to create a pattern. Each Letter is made up of 4 simplified letters. It is a display font as it is difficult to read, and should only be used for large scale posters or as a decorative type.
This is a cloneI based this typeface off the theme of introversion, and so went about creating a font that worked from the idea of the unseen, less obvious shadows of the letterforms, using arrows and angles to continue the theme of what is internal and not what the eye sees immediately.
Based on the theme of 'Systematic'. My research led me into compulsions which in turn became developing my own system where I surrendered control and randomly generated a variant of a Triangle, an angle to rotate it to and then a cell it would go into. This would then be removed to create the final letterform. Designed to be a display typeface.
