JoeAllison: FontStructions

Global village

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

I am studying in my third year of Graphic Design at the university of the west of England (Bristol UWE). I've been away from fontstruct for over a year now, and over the last few weeks I've seen some of the new first year students using it a lot. I couldn't help but notice the new bricks and brick stacking features that are now available. I have designed this typeface on a very small scale, to allow for the bezier curves created by the new bricks. I have had to use some creative brick stacking in order to get as much form out of the typeface as I could. Some of the lowercase glyphs seem to have some similar resemblance to the modernist typeface "universal" by Herbert Bayer. Although "universal" has no uppercase glyphs, whereas mine does! I am really pleased with this font, so thanks very much to fontstruct for putting in the new features. When using this font, I recommend that you set the tracking to around -120 or so, and set the kerning to "optical" rather than metrics". The letters will set quite nicely under these settings. Hope you like it! - Joe

Global Village Modular

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This version of Global Village is also designed for the use in an E-book I am beginning working on as part of a third year university Graphic Design project. This version shows how the typeface has been constructed as the individual bricks are slightly seperated from one another.

Rebuild (Metal)

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

A complete rehab of my previous typeface "convention". Each glyph has been slightly tamed from its wilder form, to aid the legibility of its display. Whilst maintining an architectural influence. This form features a halftone pattern. I have also designed a black and white form. Hope you like it!

Newbuild Featherlight

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

In my view, the most aethetically pleasing member of the "Newbuild" family. Newbuild Featherlight has a nice clean modern and slim feel to it. I hope you like it!

Skylight

Inspired by the lettering from a skylight filter on my old praktica film camera. Hope you like it!

Newbuild

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

I am on the quest to create a modern widely usable font, with an interresting difference. The first stage of this journey began with my wild font "convention", inspired by the shapes of letterforms, found within architectural environments. The second stage of this process was where i created a font called "rebuild", where i have tried to tame the form from my font "convention". In this third font, i have made further drastic changes, to decide on these forms, and create a small font family called "New Build".

Newbuild (demi)

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

The first of my font family "New Build". Inspired by my typeface "convention", i am looking to create a modern, architectural feel, with an interesting difference. More wieghts and measures are in the pipeline, although this has taken a lot of patience!
