4 downloads4%20downloads465 glyphs65%20glyphs65When be began the project on designing my own typeface, I had to design and create it relating to a specific theme. I chose to focus my design on the theme of 'Decay'. 

From the beginning, I wanted to create typeface which represented a very basic idea of the the theme of Decay. I looked at all possible avenues that I could take into design consideration and ended up coming with some interesting concepts I could use.

I started looking at the idea of Decay throughout technology. I began taking photos as well as researching forms of decay in technology. The one aspect which kept coming up were computer keyboards. I found plenty of images of keyboards with decay, which then acted as a key influence for my work.

The idea for having my typeface created in the style of computer keys was quite unique to me. When in the creation process, I created the key design as well as the letter-forms which I had mapped out using graph paper. I was then to add the appearance of decay to the letter-forms afterwards.

I then started coming up with styles of decay I could incorporate into the letter-forms. I wanted to have a clear representation of the theme, but keep it in the style/representation of computers. i.e Pixels.

I messed around with one of the letter-forms with a basic pixel appearance of decay. When zoomed in, it didn't look like the standard I wanted it to be, but when zoomed out, the pixels came together to present the them in detail. I then went ahead and applied the feature to all of the letter-forms and punctuation symbols. The typeface was finally complete.

The idea developed further when I saw some Greek decoration while researching on the internet. The two came  together, the meeting of curves, lines and spirals to form Keys, a modern take on ancient symbolism mixed with a reminder of industrial exuberance.This%20font%20was%20inspired%20by%20the%20wrought%20iron%20work%20I%20have%20noticed%20when%20exploring%20Bristol.%20The%20idea%20developed%20further%20when%20I%20saw%20some%20Greek%20decoration%20while%20researching%20on%20the%20internet.%20The%20two%20came%20%20together%2C%20the%20meeting%20of%20curves%2C%20lines%20and%20spirals%20to%20form%20Keys%2C%20a%20modern%20take%20on%20ancient%20symbolism%20mixed%20with%20a%20reminder%20of%20industrial%20exuberance.
