This font was based around the theme 'Messy'.
I took inspiration from the imperfect calligraphy of Gemma O'Brien.
I like the way her letterforms seem like they've been drawn out quickly and I tried to recreate this in Fontstruct.
Another thing I looked at was how some artists used anything as a pen, so for this I tried a few unconventional things to create patchy looking type.
I ended up using an old rubber brake pad for a bicycle, I think this looked nice because of its shape and rigidity.
I think this embodies my theme well because it has the sketchy marks and generally untidy qualities.This is a clone

This is my first FontStruction while currently studying graphic design at Bristol UWE.
Lots of experimentation solely using paints; quick hand movements and flicks to produce a messy, unrefined effect. Working in less than 1 second for each letter (with real paints), used as reference. Inspired by East Asian calligraphy.
