Geometric type, made by modular repetitions and squared dots interrupting the straight lines. Good for futuristic short texts and titles.

This is a very complex WIP of lowercase characters in a funky format.

Inspired by the kind of fonts you would see on receipts, or expiration dates on packages. Suggestions are welcome.

My 3rd attempt at making a font. I think it came out pretty well.

It is very boxy/ bold typeface with dots to bring out the letters itself. Giving it a gamy feel to it.

A clean, simple font. Easy on the eyes, and a great font for dyslexics. Easy to read, easy to distinguish each symbol.

This typeface was based on the theme 'Messy'. I tried out a few experiment through sketches and rendering, trying to get as messy as I can and also at the same time challenge myself in creating something messy. I looked up on the word messy for different sort of meanings to it, and I also rendered down all sorts of images to get the right font to the theme. I did mini cut outs, played around with colours, tried using all sorts of lines and rendering. I finally came up with a way to portray the theme, using ink/ paint. We always encounter smudges and splatters in our work and it becomes a big mess. I also found the inspirations through several artist, especially Paul Jackson Pollock who did abstract paint pouring.

Following the theme 'Decorative', I explored the aesthetics of 1970's wallpaper. This lead to finding lots of primary and secondary sources, which I narrowed down to two patterns. I noticed a mixture of curvilinear and geometric patterns. At this point, I realised that 'Decorative' does not necessarily mean curvy and swirly, so I decided to attempt geometic, but with a sort of curvilinear feel.
My main struggle was creating a design that wouldn't require too much pixelation. Creating swirls of a large size just wasn’t achievable, without using a humongous grid to cancel out the pixelation. If I had known that Illustrator would display my font to the quality I was looking for, I would have used a slightly smaller grid so the inside pattern stood out more.

The theme I chose was 'Decorative'. It's my first font that I have created using Fontstruct and is based around an iron fence that I came across that was very art deco. I initially used a lot of circles, and then found the font wasn't legible when constructed like this. As a result I used minimal circles of the same thickness to the rectangles for the basic structure. I left spaces when joining them which I thick modernises the font as well as the varied height of the crossbars. Which was determined but the width of certain shapes. I used the typeface Arial as my basic foundation for this font as it is simple and for starting off on fontstruct, recreating Arial is comfortably achievable using the shapes provided.
