The theme of this font is "to protect an inner child of a person." However, many possible categories could go with my chosen theme, so I decided to focus on children's doodles. These are made up of random scribbles, shapes, and lines that seem incoherent but are still legible enough to know what they're conveying.
My typeface is based on barbed wire as its only use is to protect what it's surrounding, which led to this idea. The visual elements of this include the body of each letter where I've tried to portray a double wired twist. The most telling features are the spiked parts.
For this font I was given the theme of “Protection” and told to go wild. At first it was a struggle to think of something that related to this, however I knew that I wanted it to be tied to the leak of personal information. I thought of being at work and scrunching up peoples left over receipts before throwing them, and doing the same to letters with my name and address on, therefore, this is what I did with the whole alphabet. I wrote each letter on a small sheet of paper and scrunched it up before photographing what I could see of the letter and transferring that to Procreate and later Fontstruct.

"SEAWEED' is a decorative font inspired through my research into the protection of the oceans. Through this research I was intrigued by the way that a simple thing like planting seaweed could possibly hold the key to reversing ocean acidification.
Following the theme "protect" my typeface is based off something one might want to protect themselves from - spiders. I have tried to imitate spiders legs through this font to create an unnerving "feel" about it.
This display typeface was inspired by the return to traditional Celtic iconography within the insular manuscripts of 6th Century Britain. Each letter is highly ornamented, incorporating chains of interlinked geometry that translate the flowing forms of Celtic knots into the grid based format of Fonstruct.
This typeface has been created surrounding the theme ‘Protect’. I took inspiration from the physical format of bubble wrap, which is why this font is made up of dots. I focused on the 3D aspect of it being unravelled - how it is thicker when rolled up, and thinner when unravelled.
The typeface mimics a shadow at a 45 degree angle. This can be seen in the slanted increase in thickness at the bottom, contrasting the thinness of the top.
"Crypt" Is a gothic, serif font, inspired by the decorative and intricate details within many cathedrals and church architecture, influenced by such features such as stained glass, gargoyles, petroglyphs and spires.
A simple alphabet composed of music notes/symbols to help present the idea of protecting your voice with music. Inspired by music history and the opression of the slave trade where they communicated through song.
This font is designed for UWE's Graphic Design Course. The linear and straight nature of the font is meant to mimic the everyday use of barbed wire for protection, the prompt for this assignment. Major revisions were made to the design of the typeface to make it in fontstruct, including the removal of details and simplification of the letterforms Currently working on making the font typeable, thank you for your patience!
this is my art deco railing font. I was given the theme 'protect' and thought to link it to railings as they protect people. I really like the art deco art styles and was inspired by this to make the font. I took the key elements from research of art deco railongs e.g curves and spikes and took this into my font.
This is a cloneMy 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."
This is my font, made from the prompt 'Protect.' Each letter is supposed to represent the Biblically Accurate Angels that you can find in pop culture. Biblically Accurate Angels are horrifying, incomprehensible eldritch beings, made up of countless eyes and wings. Therefore, in my font, I wanted to embody that idea, hence my letters are made up of a series of random, convoluted shapes and eye like imagery.
The foundations of this font were built around the word "PROTECT" I looked at protecting objects which is where I got bubblewrap from. As part of my initial research I printed with bubblewrap and the results I got were amazing because it wasn't perfect, some bubbles had been popped leaving me with a more unique print. I tried to capture that element in this font.
This typeface was created on the main theme of 'Protection' that i later explored in the idea of fences and how they can protect us from the outside world. I wanted my letters to connect with one another creating the illusion of a fence and potraying unity.
This san serif, textured, pattern, bold font is inspired by traditional Welsh weaved blankets. I was fascinated by the incredible pattern created by the traditional practice of blanket weaving. To create the structure of these characters I worked from researching weaving and knitting patterns and scanned it into the computer to embed the pattern into letters.
This font was create around the theme Protect. I explored different areas within this theme and thought of claiming sanctuary in a church during medieval times and how that was a major form of protection. I constructed the letterforms using shapes I’d drawn from church floor plans and gothic architecture.
The inspiration for this font was the word "protect". After brainstorming and exploring various different ideas, one being fruit peel, I landed on this the theme of the Celtic knot. The sheild knot in the Celtic culture is known for its strenght and protection. It resembles a woven texture as is seen in the font above. The main purpose for the font Chosaint (Irish for "protect") is to be used in large title text.
