Voltage is a thick, bold, and sharp typeface that makes you feel that electric spark through your body. This typeface was inspired by many of my interests such as gaming and rock/metal music. I wanted to create a typeface that really expresses who I am down to my hobbies in addition to art. Voltage can be used in headers or logo for music albums, video games, or even energy drinks. The sharp edges and slice through the side of the glyphs gives the viewer and user that thrilling and dynamic charge!
This font originates from the adjective 'Energetic'. It's stable centre and shakey outer layer represents the effect of consuming copious amounts of energy stimulating substances, usually resulting in a case of Caffeine Jitters.
Based on the theme of 'Energetic', this typeface is inspired by the footprints which teach people how to dance. The unrepeated pattern of footprint suggests spontaneity, and it also makes the typeface looks unusal and stands out. The font is designed to be decorative and to be use selectively. I think it will be suitable to party poster or promotion.
I constructed this font with the idea of wires 'trapping' the letters. I wanted the font to be sans-serif, looking like Futura/Gill Sans. My theme was 'energetic' and at first I was looking more into food specifically and how we gain energy but then I took a different approach trying out different ways that I can portray electricity. Finally, I experimented with cutting out letters from pizza cardboard boxes and putting wires around them to try and make the digital fontstruct version look more realistic and accurate.
