“Home” by dawnbroadbent

Home blends contemporary sans-serif characters, created using negative space, with ornate mosaic patterns to form a decorative display font in the style of kitchen tiles. Each character is unique - set against four identical patterned tiles. This typeface is very versatile and functional insofar as that it has the potential to be used in a variety of diverse settings such as magazine article headings, pottery and ceramic prints, wall-hangings and shop signage.

My typefaces are inspired by Frederic Goudy and Vic lee and Ginger Monkey(Tom Lane) .Their typeface design are similar to my theme and also they are detailed artists. They bring me some ideas to develop my ideas. I wanted to use these character is for the newspaper, magazine of even though some poster, for the first character , such as the Frederic Goudy's work.

“Contour” by eiriansoar

Taken inspiration from the french noun "contour", meaning 'outline'. This font emphasizes the outline, mass and volume rather than detail. I chose the theme 'continuous' for this font and produced each letter out of one on-going line.

“Underground Solid” by Jomley

Part of a series of typefaces based on the idea of being Mobile. I started to think of how transport links to being mobile, this led me to focus on The London underground. I took elements of the tube map and started to join them together to create letter form's. I intend on using this typeface to create a publication and/or poster to celebrate/Promote the London Underground.

“Blimey! Chunky” by erathbone

"Blimey!" is a typeface inspired by the 1970s Punk movement- paying notice to the political, economical and social issues of the time and how they affected what we commonly refer to as the “Punk Aesthetic”. Ransom note lettering, stencils, silkscreen printing and the appropriation of current cultural imagery aided the movement to deliver its important message of rebellion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Starting off with the theme "Dangerous", my focus for this project drifted to the definitions of both “rebellion” and “anarchy”. This naturally led me to the Punk movement and how it’s graphic style has been adopted into contemporary design practice. These graphics were often rough, raw, weathered and distressed- all of which I’ve tried to incorporate into my own type’s design. Ironically, the fact that this “style” is being used for commercial gain goes against the very foundations of Punk itself. This realisation spurred on the font’s name Blimey!, an ironic expression that is perhaps the furthest away from punk itself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This typeface would be best utilised in consideration to posters, flyers and possibly book covers (providing the content matches the attitude of the font). Thank you very much, all comments are welcome! Blimey! Regular - http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/blimey_regular Blimet! Rough - http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/blimey_rough

“BURNT HELVETICA” by olivia_bull

Thu, 23 Oct 2014 22:49:53 +0000

My first project as a student at UWE studying Graphic Design was to create a font using FontStruct. I chose to develop the theme messy, I thought to myself ‘what makes a mess?’ This led me to the idea of toast, it’s messy and especially when burnt. I cut letters out of burnt toast, I really liked the effect it had made therefore it influenced me to develop it further within FontStruct. I decided to use Helvetica as a guide purely for its simple, clean letterforms, hence why I have named my typeface ‘Burnt Helvetica’. I wanted to really capture the essence of the burnt areas with shading, therefore my inspiration came from cutting the burnt toast around a Helvetica letter template, photographing it and printing it on graph paper. Due to the nature of the font being messy I wouldn’t use it on anything formal or of importance, I feel that it would be suitable to be used within children associated designs, definitely food related designs and perhaps something rather playful or of course, messy. This is my first attempt using FontStruct all feedback is welcome.
