The font Arithmetic is a typeface that I have created for my typography class. The font was loosely based around the pixelated font that a calculator has and that is where it gets its name This font is done in a grid system that most of the letters follow so that everything is very consistent. This font could be used in many ways and is very versatile.
This is a cloneHello! This is my font, Fade! I wanted to make a font that was similar to the brush effect on lettering and it wouldn't take long to make. That was when I figured out that I could make a font that faded and that's what I did!
This typeface is inspired by the 1970’s and draws from groovy and retro psychadelic aesthetic of the iconic decade. The capital letters have much more pronounced swirls and a more bubbly feeling than the lowercase ones. Since lowercase letters appear more often, they were designed to be more simple and legible than the capitals.
Designed exclusively for headlines, Umstellen lets the user choose which variations of forms they would like to use, and which is most appropriate in given circumstances. Inspired by the idea of wanting to bring space to compressed letterforms.
Schwester was first inspired by the weight of the edges of the capital letter “O”. The combination of slanted type, hand drawn drop caps, and my love of the band QUEEN, helped to push the typeface into existence. For the typeface’s name Schwester, it is the German word for sister. This name stuck out to me much like my sibling’s use of the word to get my attention. My Germanic Nickname name seemed to fit perfectly. Since both the typeface and the name both are comfortable, sophisticated yet personal. Although pixelated, my goal is to someday finalize it so the edges are more curved and smooth.
Pop Light was inspired by the exciting forms and shapes created by LED lights. References include electronic billboards and theater signs that utilize large bright dots. The numerous fades add depth and help put the "pop" in Pop Light.
This is a clone of Pop ShadowTimeStamp was inspired by technological typefaces found on items such as digital clocks, refrigerators, and electronic toothbrushes. In combination of original blocky and geometric letterforms with curvy and playful ones, TimeStamp came to fruition after editing the stiff structures of geometric letters with curvatures found in the whimsical forms.

This is a cloneSongbird is a pixelated font inspired by simplified blackletter. It is reminiscent of the medieval time period, mixed with modern technology. Songbird was designed to be a display font and could be used in video games, on merchandise such as graphic tees, or for branding.
Joust was formed using the idea of pennants carried by criers and hung on the stands during a joust. Contrast between the wide pennants and the thin racks used to carry them is mirrored in the capitals. I believe this typeface would be well suited to titles and illustration, perhaps children’s books or board games.
Chicano was inspired by my love for everything West Coast, specifically with the Chicano culture. I was influenced by Chicano style tattoos which carries a ton of qualities from the blackletter typeface. Chicano takes just some of my favorite qualities of blackletter without a lot of the elaborate line work.
This typeface was inspired by aspects of my handwriting. I came up with the name “Simplified Ciari” from one of my middle names. I imagine this typeface being used in video games or 80’s themed pixel posters.
Bucket was inspired by typefaces found things such as retro signs, wallets, metal cut outs and ceramic mugs. These combined insparations makes a very quirky design that could be a very versatile display typeface. I named my typeface Bucket because the large counters feel like they could hold a lot of value, like a bucket.
Personally the title is just as important as the typeface itself. My goal was to create something just as fun as the title. My inspiration was 70’s style typography and design. I wanted to create a groovy feel while still being legible to give it the strength of more than just a title font. Bazoova is funky font ready to be the reinvention of the 70’s.
This typeface was inspired by 1920’s classic analog Art Deco style. This typeface is created with long sharp lines that have a rounded outside edge. With these thick and thin lines it makes for a dramtic graphic punch. Someways this typeface could be used include titles, and numbers on buildings or mailboxes.
Future Retro is a geometric typeface that has an implied roundness. The shape and contrast within each letter invokes a retro and a futuristic feeling at the same time. Future Retro is a sans serif display typeface with clear readability. Future Retro is great for large scale type in posters, signage, merchandise, headlines, titles, etc.
Pixel Shadow is a font that does not really follow the typical typography rules. This typeface was made to look like something that came out of a video game but with a twist. By adding a simple line on the side of the letters, it gives them a bit more depth. It also gives the letters kind of a 3D effect that can be colored in if the user so decides to do so. This lets the typeface to become a bit more personal for the project, which is really cool.
I am very inspired by the movable type used in letterpress. The goal was to make these old typefaces more modern and available for digital use. In order to make the typeface more modern, I added angles instead of slopes, focusing on very large serifs, paired with long, skinny letters. The name of this typeface is very straightforward, it is named Hipster Gutenberg.
This sans-serif typeface was created to stand out and make a statement. It hints at the design of a neon sign, delivering a bold presence. Each glyph contains a “slice,” where white space is utilized to provide depth and character. The attention to white space produces a balance that is pleasing to the eye. The glyphs were carefully crafted to work well together, ultimately conveying a strong message to the reader. Neon Slice works nicely for headlines and content that needs to emerge from the clutter.
