Focus-Point typeface stemmed from a chosen theme, energetic. As I developed my ideas I looked closer at dynamic movement as a form of energy. I also wanted to demonstrate how energy can be wild or focused on one thing. The connecting joints of the typeface show the energy focused on one stationary point before and after it explosively moves across the page to form the remainder of the letter.
Richter is a font inspired by the idea of instability. I initially looked at the idea of falling; the aftermath of an earthquake. However, the current design looks not at the aftermath of an earthquake, but at the aftermath of falling. The design is heavily inspired by breaking, smashing and the general consequences of an unstable object splitting apart.
Made by request: An experimental logotype design meant to be high-impact and high-energy, such as befits a speed metal band's album cover.
It contains my own inspirations as well as those of the band, who sketched a few prototypes.
This is clearly unfinished not only in terms of glyphs but also kerning. I was only requested to make the glyphs "AEIMNPRV" and the rest can be considered as doodles... at least, for now. It seems that there's a trend wherein people who make requests of me just want one-off designs like this as opposed to refined and finished ones. But, I'll continue this one on my own if inspiration strikes.
