The font was inspired by runic lettering and was taken from the theme unstable. sticks were used as the main shapes to create the typeface, to give this typeface a weak breakable feeling. I wanted to show a balancing act in the type to display the theme and give it a sense of unease.

This is a cloneMy first fontstruction was inspired by Eastern Art at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. I loved the dragon decoration on the old ceramic pots in this section and have tried to portray a similar theme in my letters. (work in progress)
Naples WIP
UPPER CASE ONLY
My typeface has been created in line with the theme ‘dangerous’. From my chosen theme I explored the idea of sharp edges (blades/swords/razor) and decided to create a serifed typeface in which the serifs are extended or curved into a point to mimic the shape of a blade/sword/knife. I chose ‘Naples’ (“Italy’s capital of crime”) as the name due to its historical reputation as a dangerous city and it's links to the Camorra.
Any feedback and criticism would be appreciated as the font is a work in progress (WIP).
BRAIN POWER
This type face was inspired by the word "energetic", the optical illusion theme deceives the eye and appears to be bend and curved in areas. The energy comes from the deception your brain; the longer you stare, the more you see. I studied mazes and other opticall illusions before coming to this outcome, shading was important as it makes the letters more realistic and 3 dimentional.
This is a cloneInspired by George Orwell's '1984', the Dystematic font largely revolves around the concepts of societal collapse and dystopia. The hybrid of the words 'dystopia' and 'systematic' hint at the notion of overcivilisation leading to systemic collapse. The imagery within the type suggest broken buildings with revealed scaffolding/foundations which was inspired by concept art pieces of post-apocalyptic societies. The subject of systematic futility can be largely relative to the political and socioeconomic polarity we are currently seeing in the UK and the US.
This font is based on how energy is radiated. I created the font using circles as halftones to show motions of energy through word form, there's a range of two different intesties if energy in the typeface. The basis of the font has a curved systematic approach a restriction to the circles only being a quarter, half or whole (or double sized) so that the ascenders, descenders and width matches throughout.

This font was created around the theme of 'filthy' and 'decay'. The final design was inspired by fungus spores and bacteria at a microscopic level. I took inspiration from existing fonts -Norway Round- and -Cubano-.
My fontstruction inspired by building structures, each letters ascenders and descenders inspired me to shape each letter in their individual way. I tried to include different aspects of what you see in buildings throughout the alphabet like stairs, windows, doors, roofs etc.
My chosen theme name was systematic and I followed that theme through to my style of type face by how buildings and structures are systematic, they work together as a big system and fit into a city.
