an attempt at typography

A fun retro font with little loops and swirls, using "Sacramento" as a jumping-off point for inspiration.

Please enjoy~

Had some fun with this one, the lowercase proved to be an interesting challenge. Please enjoy~

Bold in some places, thin in others. Please enjoy~

Dredging another font from the long-lost depths. "Zastava" was my first font to be given a Top Pick, a not-so-subtle take on the Art Deco classic "Bifur." The naming convention for fonts at that time was translating random words into other languages and finding the "coolest" sounding one. "Zastava" being a Serbo-Croation/Slovene word for "flag/banner." This reinvention borrows from the old trend using another vexillology term, referring to the swallow tail design of the "K" and "M" among others. Please enjoy~

A wide stripe font with a couple art deco elements. Please enjoy~

Another Art Nouveau venture, wanted to take a more earnest look and study into the adjoining arts and craft/craftsman genres. Please enjoy

This was a font made for the wedding of my brother and their fiance, many happy wishes for them and quite honored to have been able to design this for the occasion. Please enjoy~

Really not sure how to categorize this font I saw while in a burger joint, it's a little deco, a little linear, and a little bauhaus. Nevertheless, found it interesting and wanted to try my hand at it, please enjoy

A more simple Art Deco concept, please enjoy~

A fractured art deco font, crumbling under its own weight

Please enjoy~

A lightly rounded art deco font inspired by the classics, with a new angular twist on some of the glyphs. Please enjoy

Sort of mixing ideas from "tuxedo blvd" and "tinseltown." Keeping with the "t" naming trend between them, here is yet another Art Deco font, "trailblazer," please enjoy~

Had quite a bit of fun with this blueprint inspired font for the competition, numbers have been incorporated to best measure glyph length, angles and so forth. Please enjoy~

An art-deco font utilizing striped shading. Please enjoy

Dusting off an old art deco design from the archives.  Please enjoy

Wanted to experiment slightly outside my confort zone with a simpler font that used just two glyphs, and ended up with this constellation inspired art deco font. Please enjoy

A last minute reverse-comp entry. An experiment in letters that exist in-between the lines creating a font that is equally legible when the polarity is reversed

I created a font similar to this years ago, a design adjacent to some exhibits found online, but it suffered from inconsistencies and was lost for one reason or another. It was one of my favorite designs and I'm so happy to have it back, now with a more proper looking lowercase! Please enjoy

A cursive-esque, sort of hand-drawn font. Really had some fun stepping out of the usual font styles and explore with these cute little loops and swirls. Please enjoy~

Space, the final font-ier

A futurecomp entry, please enjoy

A last minute countercomp entry, taking a deco design and surrounding the glyphs with greater and lesser facsimiles

A neon inpired deco font, please enjoy!

A twenties era font with the uppercase measuring twenty glyphs tall, the lowercase measuring five glyphs tall by four glyphs wide, to multiply out to twenty, and incorporating exactly twenty different glyphs to boot.

It was really quite fun seeing all of the ways to sneak the number twenty into this font for the competition. Please enjoy!

I recently found an old book of typefaces and one of the samples within sparked the creation of this, a classic/angled art deco font, inspired by the golden age of ocean liners. Please enjoy

Hard to believe that 10 years have passed since joining Fontstruct. The years have truly flown by and typography went from an unknown, to a delightful hobby. Many many thanks to those who helped me learn and grow on this platform, it's been such a fun adventure with such a positive impact. To celebrate, may I present "magenta" an art deco font for any typing needs. Please enjoy

This also marks a little turning point. The name "time.peace" was chosen at random and was honestly something I’d never been thrilled with. After much thinking, a new moniker is being adopted: "tortoiseshell."

"tortoiseshell" pulls from the tortoiseshell butterfly. Butterflys are seen as both symbols of time and of peace, making it a simple homage to the old title. There is another connection to tortoiseshell glasses, a style popularized in the 1920's, an era that has been incredibly riveting with its Art Deco movement. Lastly, there is a genus of the tortoiseshell butterfly native to my home.

"tortoiseshell typography" looks build upon old ideas while also growing and evolving into the future.

Cheers to the next decade and the new chapter~

In a last minute rush to have some original fonts in the competition I put my brain to work spitting this together.

Trying a new wooden plank style inspired by the classic campground sign. Seemed comical for such a low-tech font to be named after such a high-tech character. Please enjoy

A serif-comp entry reminiscent of molecular models with simple angles and subtle serifs. Please enjoy
