14 downloads14%20downloads146 comments6%20comments6106 glyphs106%20glyphs106A favorite of 6 usersA%20favorite%20of%206%20users6I 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!

Lots of experimentation solely using paints; quick hand movements and flicks to produce a messy, unrefined effect. Working in less than 1 second for each letter (with real paints), used as reference.

Although the name of the font is Origami and the form resembles aspects of origami my main influences were from the shapes of different modern architecture.
