Starting with the theme 'systematic' I looked into the natural system of the sun rising and setting and what effect this has. I looked into sundials and shadows and ways in which the system of the sun is recorded.

The idea behind my font is having a shape then bending it round continuously without any breaks/gaps to create the letterforms. I have always enjoyed working with circles through out my design work and it so happened to be a recurring theme through out my font. I experimented many ways on creating circles using FontStruct - this proved difficult. I did some research on how other designers created their circular based fonts. Many used the circle bricks by nudging and layering to create an illusion of a circle. I feel that my font could be used both large and small scale. In large scale you can see the non-smoothness of the curves and makes it seem caterpillar like which may appear ugly to some. In small scale it is the opposite - the circles appear perfect and the curves look smooth. My font is very simple which makes it legible to read in both scales.

Flame font cloned from FS Slyte by ETHproductions. Made for my first project at Bristol UWE. I looked at the theme of energy. I first looked at energy drinks, creating my KRATINGDAEN font, but then looked at creating a fire font, eventually coming up with this irregular, semi-burning, roman style serif. This font was designed to be used on a larger scale, for title text - think 50pt and upwards.This is a clone of fs slyte

Based on the theme of 'fluid', I pursued the appearance of water ripples and splashes, looking at the shape they can make and the shading that they produce. An all uppercase font, designed mainly for use in titles.This is a clone

I created this font based on the theme 'introverted'. I decided to use a bold and large typeface as a base to represent the ideas and words that form in introverts, but often go unseen or unheard. Running through this is a box, which always links into the next character unless there is a space, which contains a much smaller more simple version of the letter. This is what introverts do let out to the surface and is often not a full representation of the ideas behind it. I would compare it to the idea of an iceberg where the smaller letter is the ten percent that we do see and the larger letter behind is what we don't see.

Based on the theme 'decay' I chose to look at how I could incorporate buildings into my font. I looked at derelict buildings during my development and thought the idea was strong enough to go ahead with. I wanted to give the idea of an abandoned city with the buildings decaying over time. I did this by bringing parts of the buildings skeleton through and with the shattered windows.

'Repertor' is a display typeface inspired by hand-rendered calligraphy and brush stroke textures. The typeface evolved from exploring physical properties of my starting theme 'motion' and combining this with nautical elements, mostly found close to Bristol Harbour - the name 'Repertor' has been taken from a Thames sailing barge. This is a clone

Tasked with creating a font surrounding the theme of Chaos & Order I looked at Nietzsche quote 'From Chaos Comes Order'. It interested me how the two can coexist and be found within one another. Produced was 'g l i t ch'. The uppercase of 'g l i t c h' is a chaotic version (based on glitchs and other chaotic patterns) of it's ordered lowercase counterpart.
Part of the 'Glitch Family'.
The lowercase is a modified version of 'Open Text Rounded' by Aron Kullander. This is a clone

First attempt at creating a typeface and first 'fontstruction'.
This font is a response to the Words and Image's Type project in 1st year at UWE, Bristol.
The idea for this font came from the word 'Ornate' which drove me to look at the intricate posters and works of French artists Alphonse Mucha and Toulouse Lautrec.
This typeface was inspired by the curvacious hand drawn type that makes each piece so distinctively recognisable.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I created this type face on the theme 'Sharp' - I started by looking at sharp shapes and the obvious one was a triangle. This lead me to the Star of David and I looked at Daniel Libeskind's designs for the Jewish Museum in Berlin. I experimented with which letters fit into the religious symbol and it turned out that they all did! After making a 3D version of the font I decided to fill it with black to give more of a contrast and make it more legible! So here it is... The Star of Harriet 3D Black!
Improvements welcomed!This is a clone of White Star

This san serif, textured, bold font is inspired by the old cast iron type on train carts. When I discovered the old train carts down at the 'Bristol Harbour Railway' I was fascinated by these incredible forms.
To create the structure of these characters I worked from one of the rubbings I took of a particularly nice iron plate and then scanned it into the computer to replicate the letters which where missing. I then printed this on to graph paper and transferred the bricks one by one to try and get the most accurate representation as possible.This is a clone

I created this font based on the word ‘vibration’. I looked at sound waves and visual interpretations of vibration which led to a glitchy image that didn’t have clear lines. For the font I tried to create the impression of movement and a sort of buzzing going on.

My Final 'Sharp' Fontstruct that I created for my University project in Graphic Design.
I thought for a long time what to do with the font and decided to try make it quite clean but different at the same time. My main focus on this Font was to make sure it was clean enough to read without any difficulties. That i think i've achieved.

I wanted to create a very brutish display type that could be used in a project, my influences were early 1930's fonts like futura black and braggadocio as well as Compacta from the 60's. its yet to be finished.

This font was based on the word ornate. It draws inspiration from neo-classical architecture, tattoos the base outline takes elements from church windows holding the inner detailing which was somewhat inspired by a combination of knit-work and the forms within the glass holding together stain glass windows. The flourishes and filigree forms are a more simplistic take on tattoo lettering. With all this combined I created this typeface to represent my chosen theme of ornate

First of all i was looking at architecture and the curve designs on the collumns of buildings, then moving on with my idea i started by experimenting with ink, looking at how it reacts in water, and filming ink being dropped into water. I then moved onto simply dropping ink into and page to see how it fell, then using the dropplets i created this font.

UWE Graphic Design project - communicating with words.
I chose the word "chaos" to create a typeface of my own choice. My research and process thought lead to me to create a font which incorporated my childhood. I started off looking at road maps,train maps and the london underground to start off my research, which was my initial idea. However, although maps are ordered and not chaotic at all, situations and the environment around you can cause chaos and stress. The maps of the London underground lead me to the thought process of looking at maps from my childhood and designing a typeface that was unique to me.
