I have created this font using the word "destructive" as a theme. After experimenting with a number of ideas I created this font by cutting it out of card in a distressed way, then projecting light through it on the wall, photographing the results and recreating the result in fontstruct. I feel as if my font could be used for a number of different things such posters or advertisement for art or music event.

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.

Unstable is based on the effect made when paper is burned to reveal layers and uneven edges. My original idea was to look at what happens to materials as they endure the process of burning. This evolved to looking at what remains of the material when it looks to be on the precipice of collapse. This resulted in letterforms that are quite dramatic with aspects of deterioration and roughness overshadowing the structure. Shading also adds texture and makes it more visually engaging. It could have a variety of applications including use in the horror genre, video games and grunge apparel. This is a clone

This font is dedicated to my collegues at the Design College in Dresden, Semper-Schulen. (They peeped over my shoulder while I was fontstructing) Thats why it is called "Kollegium". It will not suit for higher amouts of text, but each character ist full of "character", a little bit rough, loud and sharp. This one is to you: Elke, Lothar, Heike, Ulf, Bernd, Claus, Detlef, Ulrike, Heinz, Jens, Barbara,and Uwe.

"Blimey!" is a typeface inspired by the 1970s Punk movement- paying notice to the political, economical and social issues of the time and how they affected what we commonly refer to as the “Punk Aesthetic”. Ransom note lettering, stencils, silkscreen printing and the appropriation of current cultural imagery aided the movement to deliver its important message of rebellion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Starting off with the theme "Dangerous", my focus for this project drifted to the definitions of both “rebellion” and “anarchy”. This naturally led me to the Punk movement and how it’s graphic style has been adopted into contemporary design practice. These graphics were often rough, raw, weathered and distressed- all of which I’ve tried to incorporate into my own type’s design. Ironically, the fact that this “style” is being used for commercial gain goes against the very foundations of Punk itself. This realisation spurred on the font’s name Blimey!, an ironic expression that is perhaps the furthest away from punk itself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This typeface would be best utilised in consideration to posters, flyers and possibly book covers (providing the content matches the attitude of the font). Thank you very much, all comments are welcome! Blimey! Regular - http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/blimey_regular Blimet!

After choosing the theme asymmetric my thoughts went straight to the face of odin,because of the eyepatch, and since odin was the one that gave the germanic tribes their characters (according to the mythology) the idea of basing this font on ancient norse runes was born. I really wanted that feel of rough, stone carved feel, straight lines were a priority, plus I really wanted to give it the sensation of eroded and old. The name futhark comes from the first six letter of the runic alphabet.

These characters could easily have been scribed in the mud by a child. It hails to the carefree days of playing outside on a rainy day. But of course it's important not to play too long.

This font was created as part of my university work, I have created the work by picking a random theme (dangerous) I then researched and brainstormed words which relate to dangerous and then created ideas on things I had seen I liked in other fonts. I linked my theme to the grunge style of work as I think this was appropriate to do so. I wanted my font to look quite messy but at the same time readable. I wanted the font to look quite 'squared' in style as to round as I feel it looks better structurally.

My second script attempt, Bliss, is the result of mixing the classic elegance of humanistic italics and the roughness of the pixelization, that gives a "pencil like" feeling.

A simple heavy partially rounded all-caps sans-serif, my first font created with 2 by 2 filters. I wasn't knowing that's so handy! :D
Fixton Gothic is great for headlines and logotype. I hope you will like using it! It hasn't many characters now but i will fix that in a following update.

This is a font based on the concept of how little of a character must be shown in order to recognize that character,in the idea of wooden letters carved including the frame. Largely inspired by Wim Crouwels New Alphabet. Not complete, reworking dimensions of the characters within the frame.

According to typography, the specification of (DOT) newly conspired by Joel D. Valdez, is the abbreviated meaning of Design Open Type. (D) The characters have a: graphic design, picture, embellishment, and or impression in/&/or around each typeface structure. (OT) The typeface contains the usual meaning of Open Type.This is a clone

This font combines the aestethics of Fraktur and Roman typefaces. It is also (now fully) stencil. But you would need a strong material for the schabelons, as most counters only have one opening. // The name "Düpbøl" is the combination of the German and Danish names of the same town in Southern Jutland ("Düppel" and "Dybbøl" respectively).

Sketchy type font, first try on Fontstruct, looks great small but anything larger than 24 gets funky.

Hi! My name is Patricia and I study Graphic Design at UWE. As part of my project I decided to use decay as the theme for my font. I started my research by photographing old building, rusty metal, broken brick, etc. Then I started experimenting and looking at other decay fonts, this is when I decided that I didn't want my font to have the typical broken appearance. So I decided to go for more of a scratchy, rough and uneven font. This is a clone
