Kinda messy

i copied the birch styled lettering

A typeface inspired by artistic handwritten letters throughout history while also drawing from modern influences such as album cover artwork.

This typeface uses a combination of block serifs and rounded finials and is best used for short titles and emphasis 

yeah. legit just scribbled on my phone lmao

After choosing Lo-Fi as a project theme on my graphic design course, I wanted to explore the idea of 'bad handwriting' and how it's perceived as messy, informal, and even sometimes stupid. Each letter has its own quirks and individuality, and gives the idea of authenticity. Perfect for projects that need a personal, raw, and expressive feel.

‘Ripped paper’ is a graffiti inspired font focusing specifically on texture and imperfection. The influence taken from punk and grunge styles, as well as artist Chris Ashworth's idea of 'Swiss Grit'. The use of many different fontstruct bricks allows the font to achieve the messy pixelated texture. The font style was created originally from experimentation with ripping paper, hence the name.

'Patty Polk did this and she hated every stitch she did in it.'

My outcome for a UWE project focusing on analogue technologies/processes. My interpretation of this brief caused me to research stitch samplers - especially those made by young children in the 19th and early 20th centuries, which were often charmingly wonky and resentful of being made to create such intricate samplers. My font aims to playfully display the instances of human error and irregularities that are present in hand stitching/embroidery, as well as to replicate as convincingly as possible the look of stitched type.

Clearly the world needs more pixel handwriting fonts.

This font is used for the police officers in the EarthBound randomizer "PK Scramble" when they replace the NPCs in Saturn Valley. Note that some characters are mapped in a way that's only convenient for EarthBound.

A generic typeface based off Messy 29 Slab and Misterama/391.

A lazily writen sans-serif font that could be used for silly stuff.

Inspired by the idea of how newspapers are printed to protect us, I've created my first fontstruction for the start of my UWE graphic design course. I drew the letters by hand using black ink and a quill that sort of created this idea of the ink that is used in newspapers. Therefore, creating this abstract font design.   

Inspired by Baba is you, but also just wanted to make font that didn't really follow the rules. I'm pretty satisfied with the results.

This is my first font therefore it is not the best.

A pixel art mimic of someone using a (rather gritty) graphite pencil.

This font draws it's main inspiration from David Carson's typographic work. it was created using instinct as there were no set rules and regulations for each letter. The style is unconventional and unpredictable. Jamie Reid created a lot of typographic pieces using magazine cutouts which is something I also wanted to replicate in this font.

My font is based on the original word messy, which I took in the direction of disjointed and disorientated. I wanted to create something that did not quite add up and felt messy in more of a psycological way instead of a physical way. 

A font for a horror project of mine, its supposed to look slightly off, which it does, only contains basic Latin alphabet and some other fancy symbols, though due to the typefaces general visual style some characters, like the copyright sign, yeng, currency sign and things are not exactly easy to recognise as themselves so really, this font is only good as a fun little thing, not be used in a serious situation were those characters might actually see use. Some of the Greek characters are used to, but they are just funny icons that could be used for decoration, and are illegebel as letters let alone Greek characters. Was also my first font, so, its not brilliant looking.

My font was created with the idea of mess and chaos in mind with each letter having a different 'contents'

It is supposed to represent something similar to pin and string art. The white dots representing the pins and the lines within representing the string. It might come across as a little complicated or hard to distinguish each letter however I think it gives it an authentic look. 

Error is typeface desinged to feel like static glitching - inspired by the theme 'unstable'. 

Based on the theme 'Accept Advice'. Inspired by 3 year old's advice on improving each letter.
