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.

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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
