My font seems to be not to bold or thin which I like and I added lines going through them so it would have something interesting. I think it is easy to read. The one that needs fixing is the K.

a research into dementia. This designed typeface represents the process of memory loss. Diagnosed, you lose all connections that you once took for granted. Now they are slowly drifting away from their once true and solid form.
I wanted my typeface to appear slightly un-legible as a whole, but with it's original form still present.

My font was originally based on the word 'curves',
this lead to looking at the fluid movements of strings through the process of stitching. My aim was to create a type face which explored the freedom of the process you undergo when sewing by hand.

typographic project based on a key word (curved) with inspiration from the art movements deco and nouveau and heavily influenced by the work of Aubrey Beardsley.

An experiment typeface that inspired from lines and geometric shapes. I have no idea for the name, just typing around...

This clone of my monospaced D'Nealian script font, Denial, has an extended character set that contains all of Latin-1, plus most of DOS codepage 850, with modifications to make it usable as a font for libtcod. Libtcod is a wonderful framework for creating roguelike games, but it has peculiar requirements for fonts. This version has a higher max height, 20 pixels from top to bottom, while remaining 10 pixels wide.This is a clone of Denial

You may know that old men wear their pants very high on themselves, if you've ever seen an old man wearing pants. I based this font after old man pants in that the horizontal lines, especially in the uppercase, are close to the top of the letter. (by the way this is my first font ever!)

The inspiration to this is the classic IBM logo. I wanted to create something like it with a few additions.
1. Wanted more lines.
2. Wanted more jaggedy edges on purpose.
Here, I tried to focus not only making more lines to construct the glyph but also to see how two glyphs will go together. I will post a few samples soon. I like how two glyphs, when put together are making a nice kern. It's good to see how mechanical yet traditional this is looking. Something that I wanted.
Suggestions are always welcome.

Ogham runes... for the most part. The "ng" character is "k" Both uppercase and lowercase are the same. I used "ea" for !, "ui" for ? and fudged on letters that aren't Gaelic, such as k, w, and y. They are the runes that slant down.

This font features abundant 90-degree angles and a unique hollowed style. It's great for anything that needs an angular edge, or a smooth pixelated look.

As part of a project for my graphic design course at UWE, our brief was to create a typeface based on a theme. I chose vibration as my theme as I explored my theme I was drawn to line graphs which help record the frequency of sounds. I wanted my typeface to resemble this like it was on an ECG monitor. I also looked at John Skelton’s pinpression typeface which truly inspired my font, having continuous lines connecting all of the characters was very important and finding his work showed me that it was possible. This is my first attempt at creating a typeface and there are still alterations that need to be done.

I got my inspiration from the Chinese YIn Yang Hexagrams. It was super cool and I had to do it.

I created this font to explore the basic shapes within origami and paper folding, this also led to the creation of my other font 'Decami' which further explores ripped or decayed origami.

This is my final font for my task at UWE. I wanted to keep it really simple and free. I would greatly appreciate any positive and negative feedback! Please tell me what you think and what I could improve on as this is one of my first published fonts.

The theme behind this piece is decay. I started by experimenting with the things that immediately spring to mind when you think of decay; crumbling walls, rotting vegetables, peeling paint...
Then I found the definition of decay in physics 'transformation of an elementary particle into two or more different particles.' and biological decay 'to break down into component parts.' After experimenting with different ways of breaking up a typeface, I came up with this. A sort of abstract representation of scientific decay.
To create the long, thin diagonal lines, I had to do it on a huge scale, filling almost 3 'screens' in height with each letter. Sadly this meant it's impossible to download the font. E F G O and Q still need a bit of work as they stand out to much.

Inspired by the word 'dangerous' I have created a fontstruction based upon voodoo, ouija boards and back words writing. The font tends to include different shapes for instance 'crosses', some of these shapes have been inspired by typeface designer, Rudolf Koch 'book of signs'.

As part of my first project on the Graphic Design BA Hons degree at UWE, we were asked to design a font based on a theme. The theme I chose was motion. I started with a few different ideas and by sketching and practising on here I ended up choosing skidmarks found on the road left by cars. Using the lines that the tyremarks leave, I created this font. I've kept it simple, which is how I prefer my work to be. I think the clean lines that I've used also make it resemble the tracks of a scalextric set.
