I am studying in my third year of Graphic Design at the university of the west of England (Bristol UWE). I've been away from fontstruct for over a year now, and over the last few weeks I've seen some of the new first year students using it a lot. I couldn't help but notice the new bricks and brick stacking features that are now available.
I have designed this typeface on a very small scale, to allow for the bezier curves created by the new bricks. I have had to use some creative brick stacking in order to get as much form out of the typeface as I could.
Some of the lowercase glyphs seem to have some similar resemblance to the modernist typeface "universal" by Herbert Bayer. Although "universal" has no uppercase glyphs, whereas mine does!
I am really pleased with this font, so thanks very much to fontstruct for putting in the new features.
When using this font, I recommend that you set the tracking to around -120 or so, and set the kerning to "optical" rather than metrics". The letters will set quite nicely under these settings.
Hope you like it!

This version of Global Village is also designed for the use in an E-book I am beginning working on as part of a third year university Graphic Design project.
This version shows how the typeface has been constructed as the individual bricks are slightly seperated from one another.This is a clone of Global village

This type face was designed for a project on my first year of graphic design at UWE (university of the west of england). I worked on the word 'Motion' so i hope this evokes that feeling, movement etc. Its based on a standard geometric sans serif font structure much like Helvetica or Futura.

I wanted to create a very brutish display type that could be used in a project, my influences were early 1930's fonts like futura black and braggadocio as well as Compacta from the 60's. its yet to be finished.

As part of my "Found Type" project at UWE, we had to design a font for a theme that we chose. I chose Ornate. I was particularly drawn to this theme due to its relations with Biblical manuscripts and the architecture within Churches. I ended up combining the manuscript like lettering with features of Churches. I realised that this combination creates a great contrast between thick and thin, straight and curves. I found it difficult to create curves on font struct, but I rose to the challenge and created this. I hope you enjoy!

I am a first year student at the University of the West of England, and our first assignment was to create a font based around a chosen word, mine being repetition. My research involved searching the city of Bristol for any signs of repeated patterns, and as I found, pattern is everywhere. I developed my findings into this bold and detailed font.
