THEME: PROTECT
INSPIRATION: PRISONS
With the font I researched and looked into Gaul where the structure had minimal spaces, solid walls and in the 1700's the prison architecture included a panoptical view where by the guard had a view of all prison cells.
This inspired me to create a font based on the Panoptical aspect of prisons and how it would be adapted in the future prison architecture.
I included slanted parts in the font cutting across to represent the view of the guard ( panoptican view ). The font comprises of thick and thin walls representing the concept of a prison with thick walls and the prison bars. Combining these aspects the font has a feeling of solidity and uniformity.
