This font was created around the theme word 'unstable'. One definition of unstable is 'prone to psychiatric problems or sudden changes of mood', for which many people have to take medication. I created this font out of pills (medication) to symbolise the theme. It is intended to be used to raise awareness of the fact that 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year.
Contrante foi criada em contexto académico e tem como principal objetivo ser projetada para títulos e manchetes. Tendo como ideia chave o alto contraste e tentando ser fiel a este princípio, o seu design baseia-se sobretudo nos cortes bem definidos que dão origem a caracteres com pontas afiadas, nas suas acentuadas curvaturas e no confronto entre linha bastante carregada e os espaços vazios que acabam por atenuar e suavizar a fonte transmitindo uma sensação de leveza.
O nome, Contrante, foi pensado a partir da junção entre as palavras "contraste" e "elegante"; palavras estas que são consideradas como pontos fortes presentes entre os elementos que formam cada tipo.
Alternate character set (to standard CBM) from Rolf Harris' Picture Builder. Given Rolf's incarceration for sex offences, I chose to name the font "Wobble Board" after the musical instrument he devised in 1959.
Lower case is pixeled, upper case is me experimenting with the blocks (first time I've used block-stacking). This character set didn't use punctuation, it was designed for building pictures character by character; I've preserved a couple of the graphic characters, but also imagined a few glyphs based on the thick lettering style. I like the look of these thick letters with proportional spacing so that's what we have.
The hash symbol (#) can be used to build a brick wall.
This type was made in our class of typhografy, we are from Portugal and we want to show you our work. This font have very elegant forms and contrast between stems, so that's why our font called "alterna" that means alternate in english. It's apropriate for tittles but you can use it for other things only as long as it's bigger than 20pt.
This is my first fontstruction, created whilst studying graphic design at UWE Bristol. I experimented using script brushes and calligraphy on Procreate and also tried to incorporate some of my own handwriting to make it more personal. The font is blocky and cursive to represent how people see hope and good in the bad. Our paths in life are never smooth sailing.
'Rebirth' is a display font designed for use in a large scale, for example as a title on a poster. The font was designed in response to a first term university brief and responded to the word 'rebirth'. The font centres around the idea of growth which led to the geometric elements as a connection to the symbol of an arrow, which I personally associated with growth.
With the given theme of Protection, I looked into the human immune system and the biological human features. Researching further into antibodies, I created a type face of the antibody structure which resembles the shape of a capital Y. Following symmetrical shapes and doubled lines, I created an alphabet that mimics the original structure of antibodies, with similar joints and angles.
My typeface currently encapsulates the verb “protect” through two opposing connotations; one of them being to self protect; this phrase is conventionally associated with weapons, and I have illustrated this through sharp edged strokes to imitate knife-like objects. The other being is to hide; this is inferred the personification of the fact that elements of my letters are hiding themselves.
