Elegant, mystical, and shiny. Starlight carries a cosmic motif through its counters and character details. I was inspired by the retrofuturism movement and its focus on outer space and technological advancements, while preserving the refined glamour of 1950s design.
My inspiration comes from geometric patterns, like Zuzana Licko‘s pattern work on fabrics, and Arabic patterns. The letters are in square tiles inspired by Arabic art. My font also plays on the idea of legibility and futurism, as the letters are skewed making it harder to read, almost like an ‘alien’ code.
This font is based on the old machine programming technique of punched tape. The hole punched tape is fed through a computer which reads the positions of the holes and performs actions accordingly. This design is not legible without a 5-bit code alphabet, unlike my other font.
This font is based on the old machine programming technique of punched tape. The hole punched tape is fed through a computer which reads the positions of the holes and performs actions accordingly. This analogue and old technique inspired my design not just because of its interesting look, but also its potential in the next brief.
VOID.PX .This pixelated typeface draws inspiration from space, blending retro digital aesthetics with cosmic wonder. Star-like dots evoke assemblage , creating a lofi pixalated feel. Merging nostalgia and futurism, the design communicates mystery, exploration, and the vastness of the galaxy—inviting viewers to read as if gazing into the stars.
STATIC* communicates the essence of analogue through its imperfect, nostalgic design inspired by the visual noise of old VHS and TV static. The glitched style reflects the beauty of imperfection, evoking a sense of connection to the raw, pre-digital era.
The inspiration for this font comes from the 90's, where it was more comoon to to see design work that was developed through analogue means. Logos from Japan, and typography that originated from 90's dance/disco heavily inspired this font. However, it also mimics the use of stencils in typography, whihc helps to lnk it back to the theme of the brief.
This font was inspired by traditional Iranian motifs and strong geometric patterns. My goal was to mix cultural heritage with a modern and creative style. The sharp and clean shapes give it a bold identity. It can be used for posters, branding, and digital projects that need a unique and powerful look.
‘Brutalist Bold’ is inspired by Brutalist Architecture, a style characterised by geometric patterns and strong concrete exteriors. The traditional characters of the alphabet have here been systematically partitioned to reflect the notable angles and shapes of brutalist architecture, creating a unique and strong look across the font.
Signal Sans is inspired by analogue sound waves, and each letter features crossbars (or natural curves) which move up and down like waveforms.
Digital signals are binary and predictable, while analogue are continuous, imperfect and human.
This typeface shows how an expressive, fluctuating waveform can exist within a digital grid.
A blocky font inspired by the keys on keypads in old school phone booths. Basic sans seriff letters with an outer box- mirroring the texture of a worn and used phonebooth keypad. i wanted the letters to appear that they had been selected so many times that the paint has been worn down.
I designed this typeface with the theme 'Analogue' and 'Lo-fi' given in my UWE Graphic Design course. I decided on a simple design that takes from a blend of sharp and flowy sewing tools such as threads, ribbons, tape measures and needles, scissors, seam rippers. I liked the juxtaposition of the sharp & flowy products, and the way they blend together so well despite being so opposing.
I made this typeface with the set theme 'Analogue' and 'Lo-fi' given in my graphics design course. I decided on a huamn vs computer style in reference to the analogue theme (as if a computer had attempted to make a hand-drawn font) and its imperfections in reference to the Lo-fi theme (where a computer would fall short of being about to recreate natural human touch). Only the upper case letters have this effect, I made a simple sans serif font to pair with the main upper case letters.
After choosing Lo-Fi as a project theme on my graphic design course, I wanted to explore the idea of 'bad handwriting' and how it's perceived as messy, informal, and even sometimes stupid. Each letter has its own quirks and individuality, and gives the idea of authenticity. Perfect for projects that need a personal, raw, and expressive feel.
I created this font as a response to a brief that I was set in Graphic Design, the theme that I had chosen was analogue and I decided to look at retro game consoles as well as sci-fi films from the 70s, which inspired this font.
This typeface, inspired by the shapes and nature of modern housing, embodies a striking blocky and geometric aesthetic that reflects contemporary design principles. I aimed for the typeface to feature recurring patterns, akin to the clean lines and structured forms found in modern residential architecture, which help create a harmonious blend. Its distinctive shapes and bold presence make it an ideal choice for projects seeking to convey a sense of modernity and innovation while remaining approachable and readable.
This font bubble was inspired by a cartoon/robotic theme. During this process I researched into tv shows like the The Powerpuff Girls, by taking inspiration from the font they used and the design of their typeface into creating my own. I was edging into creating a font that is bold and blocky, by experimenting with creating blocks and designs with rounded angles.
This is a font that I created based on the themed 'Analogue and Lo-Fi' where I focused on Ordnance Survey maps. I wanted to focus on the geomtery and shapes of roads that are on the maps and include gaps between the letterforms to represent different roads.
I made a font inspired by the graffiti letters on Bristol street poles and walls throughout the City Centre, Clifton, and other places within Redland and Bristol. I aimed to make each letter have a different style, look funky, and have character and expression. Wanted to make my font different from others that exist with in-consistency, and variety.
This typeface was initally inspired by the design of 1970's & 80s Atari consoles. As it developed, it gained a nice handmade feel, like it could have been crafted from wire or stitched into fabric.
This is a cloneInspired by the analogue method of creating that is Hama Beads, I wanted to take the idea of something so simple from my childhood, and make it into a font, that uses the imperfections to make it all the more interesting.
