When my mother was young (and specially after my birth) she supplemented the family's income from home by typing for students and businesses. When I was a student I used the same machine for my assignments, lesson plans and thesis. The years were not kind to the machine, the mechanics rusted or broke, the letters worn with frayed edges or disintegrating serifs and fine lines. Ruth's typewriter is a declaration of my appreciation of many years of service the brave little machine gave... As you can see I clearly didn't get the letters repaired ;) The font looks like I rearranged and glued down what was left of the raised surfaces, to continue using the typewriter and give my words a very modern look ;)) A "grunge-writer" ?? Did you notice that no typewriters were ever sold with this kind of modern destructured typefaces?! ;)

Since I started this font many years ago (Ruth was very amused and appreciated this hommage) this work has now become a memorial to her

This Typeface is sharp, bold and futuristic. The characters act as if a blade has been pierced through them, creating a fun and aggressive look. It can be used for video games, advertisement, and comic books. 

This san serif font is inspired by the concept of ‘Community’. I explored the idea of unhealthy, anti-communities and real life examples of them, which lead me to Hollywood. Hollywood, beneath all the glamour, proves to often be a toxic community, considering the examples of misogyny, racism and sexual abuse that has taken place within the community. I wanted to recreate the iconic Hollywood sign and modify it to have cracks appearing, representing the real-life cracks appearing in Hollywood’s community. These cracks will represent examples such as Harvey Weinstein and the #MeToo movement. 

Tofi stands for "Thin Outside, Fat inside". Hope you will like it!

Sans Serif font heavily inspired by Minecraft and other block and pixelated video games. 

This font is inspired by the word 'danger'. It is based on the shift in perceptions on graffiti and how some view it as anti-social and therefore a danger to our society. Over time it has shifted to be classed as an art form which creates character on our streets; specifically in Bristol. It is inspired by the recent cleaning of the 'Bearpit' in Bristol.

This font was created using a systm that randomly generated angles to score through the letters. This creates the effect that the letters have been randomly shattered, yet each cut is planned out one by one. 

Glyphs that haven't yet managed to pull themselves together ;)

Just a font doodle. :D

Perhaps I'll embellish them further with charms/baubles hanging from the bottom of each?

Making these look like glowing lanterns should be easy! Just create some yellow or orange behind them, blur it, and set its layer blending mode to Additive or Screen.

22OCT2018: Well, after several attempts I've been unable to fix this one. Staff haven't been able to reproduce the error, either. If it works for you, great! If not, I recommend using it by screen capturing this site...

5x5 pixel font in which no lines are allowed to bend or touch at all. Where they would bend or touch, they are segmented instead.

Possible non-game uses for this: Circuit design, light arrangement, wiring design, αPX electronics, primitive writing systems...

Original size: 3.75pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

Meet ERROR! the elder cousin of Rocket Ride, with some distortions here and there. There is an alternatively glitched ? on < and ! on >.\

Looks legible at pixel size, doesn't it?

Dehumanised is a typeface drawn forth from the deepest parts of a mind challenged by illness and intrusive thoughts. It hopes to create an avenue of expression through its bold, sans-serif design combined with a strong theme of slashing and debris. It was informed by the illustrative manifestation of anxious, angry thoughts cutting through simple day to day life and new ways to combine different versions of destruction into a dystopic yet coherent typeface.

This seems to have taken inspiration from my First-TP-font "Sandor Basic Stripes" :) but was in fact inspired by shattered windows of a deserted building.

My first typeface as part of my Graphic Design Project, my theme was Destruction, where I then considered digital glitch art

**This font is still a work in progress**

Smash Me Again is inspired by broken glass. I traced around an image of broken glass molded in to a word and used is as my basis to create this font. It might not look exactly like broken glass, however, that was only the inspiration.

This font was created for and as part of my UWE graphic design course, this is my first font which is why it has several flaws, and is far from perfect. Feedback would be appriciated. Thanks!

I produced this typeface as a part of a UWE project. I started by exporing the word dangerous, where I moved onto the topic of fear. This lead me to a fear of heights and ultimately glass and the way it smashes. This broken glass typeface is shattered as if hit directly and smashed into shape. I wanted it to look more unorganised so the smash seemed more natural. I didn't want the pieces to fit the shape of the letter form but I also didn't want you to be unable to read the letter so I felt like this was a good middle ground between the two. This typeface is to be used as a title font rather than text font. 

This font is based on the word messy. Inspiration comes from paper being torn into small pieces, and the moment of chaos when work goes wrong and paper is ripped out of a sketchbook. The gradients are also not accurate in order to vaguely represent how shadows form on crumpled paper. The font was drawn freehand to begin and is designed to be used decoratively for headers. This font could be used for an art club poster.

I created this font as part of my project for UWE. My font was originally based around the word sharp which lead on to looking at the strcutures of glass when broken. I built my font outwards trying to use the centre of broken glass as the middle, almost like a point of impact. When building it further the font almost had this kaleidoscope effect so I tried to make the sides symmetrical but still having the main focus on the centre. 

Starting with the word Unstable I have created this set of three fonts to show the breakdown of letterforms. Starting with Awe Fixed the letterforms are perfectly legible and stand quite tall and bold. Awe Shatter shows breaks within the letterforms as if shattered, while still legible the font still gives a very unstable feel. Awe Broken is the final font of the set which shows the letters in pieces.

Hijack is my first typeface and as been produced from my theme Asymmetrical. The font takes the characteristic of imperfections and glitches. In a world that often criticises imperfections and irregularities it offers an option to embrace the unsymmetrical aspects within this typeface. The use of this typeface could fit in a large variety of circumstances and forms, whether it be billboard posters, t-shirt and bags, TV, flyers and online website banners.

This started elegantly thin with rounded corners and the name 'memoire', but it developed some electric sharpness through parallel angled lines ;) demanding that I remove curved corners. Work in progress, one of these days I'll add Polish or very basic Greek glyphs .

Clone of Memonoire. I wanted to break the lines I had on the parent font, see what I could do; so this is a bit of fun. The parent font is nicer I think, quite different .......
