'Nerves' is a font created based on my given theme 'PROTECT'. I chose to create a thin and messy typeface, inspired by nerve structures and the protection our nervous systems provide. I wanted there to be overlapping lines and 'bursts' that mimic how nerves look, as well as capturing the more disorganised nature of a nerve.
My design was influenced by walls, barriers, and the requirement for a division between our built and natural environments in order to protect us. I am a first-year student at UWE Bristol studying Graphic Design, and I made this digital typeface in response to this year's subject, "PROTECT."
The font is based around the theme 'messy'. Each letter is inspired by messy paint/ink strokes; therefore no letter is exactly the same as another. However they all work well as a whole complementing eachother with small similarities. The font is designed to be used for headers, for example art posters or flyers. It could be used for big bodies of text, however slightly less suitable as it may become harder to read if it's made too small. The font could also be used in any colour and still grab attention!
