This font is inspired by retro, old school tech and has a nostalgic feel to it. Its pixellated feel and angular letters really highlight this, and Ziggy is simple yet effective. Its simplicity is its biggest strength as it makes this font versatile, and easy to read. 

A series of lowercase lettering, inspired by my dads handwriting, in his schoolbooks, from the 80's. Kept in lowercase, similar to his writing and following a similar format to 'reverse italics'

A typeface in response to the word 'Lo-FI', based on Elder Futhark Runes.

I wanted to create a typeface based on the theme analogue. I chose to look into records and wanted to explore how they look if you smashed one and tried to piece together a letter with the shards and remaining sections.

my font is inspired by a circuit board with breakers in the designs. I also drew inspiration from nordic runes and egyptian hieroglyphs because I liked how they're unreadable to us but they were once the main form of communication that was used. I wanted to play into that but still makeit legible

Taking insperation from the meaning of Lo-fi, I reserched into Kosovo and what has been lost in time. While reserching I looked into the Illyrian tribe and took insperation of there symbols.

This is for UWE coursework I honesly dont know what else to write here it's like 3am rn.

Update I've woken up and heres why a made this, it was a crisp autumn morn the birds were singing the morning dew resting on the grass. I lay in my bed as a though ran through my mind "hark, my what the font project is due. Whatever shall I design?" I sit up in my bed and reach around throuh the empty cider bottles for my macbook, alas it is out of my reach. I open my eyes to the low morning light burning my retinas as the subtle glint of my macbooks casing draws my eye. I rush out of bed and over to my desk to grab the glistening object of my desire. I grab it and leap back into bed before I succumb to the caverness cold of my tiny student accomodation.    

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.

this font was inspired by the use of polaroid (film) cameras before they went digital and how polaroids are unchangeable and will forever look the same.

This typeface was for a project based of off the theme 'Analogue'. For this theme I decided to create my font by using different elements of a clock.

A pixel font designed with another adaptation to act as a link to the internet with pixels of data being uploaded through each font. 

Dear- by Ruby Westrip

My font ‘Dear’ is inspired by letter writing. The act of letter writing has been somewhat lost to email, and I wanted my font to emulate the romance and care that is felt when receiving a letter compared to the corporate feeling of an email. The pixelated style brings it into the digital world and adds an element of lo-fi production. 

 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. 

My font based on the 2010s computer game; Give Up, Robot! When I think Lo-Fi I think retro type digital programs and stuff. Like arcade games or Blocks so thinking along that lines I wanted to something closer to home, GiveUp, Robot was a game my brother and I would spend hours every evening after school playing. So this is a very loose interpretation of a pixelated robot. It’s definitely not as accurate as I had originally hoped but I experimented a lot an this is the font that was most legible.

My typeface was inspired from the fluid movement of fish, giving it a liquid, almost hypnotic feel. The brief asked us to look to history and retro typography, and while I did, I chose to go the opposite route. In the past type designers had to physically create the type out of wood or metal and the limiting aspects of the materials resulted in square letters and straight lines. Today’s digital tools allow us to break free from those restrictions, which made it possible for me to create a typeface that embraces round, unconventional curves.

What The Font Project.

The theme for this font is analogue and my font is specialised in ethnic motifs inspired by Turkish Anatolian rug patterns. I picked them as inspiration because they're from back in past when people handly made those patterns on rugs. It feels vintage and special as the patterns are quite different but still hold similarities. This font can be used in various ways, it can fit perfectly into ethnic-themed areas. 

This font was inspired by letterpress letter blocks, therefore backwards to mimic the blocks. I took inspiration from letterpress posters for the style of the letters. I wanted to reference letterpress because of how influencial it has been in print throughout history and today, like our use of 'uppercase' and 'lowercase' refering to the physical cases of letters. 

I created this font focusing on the theme 'analogue'. I researched further into this word to really break down my project brief and was inspired at the fact analogue concepts are most often parrallel to another concept, for example I have taken inspiration from filmstrips which are an analogue concept of digital photographs.

"Mystic Psychedelic" derives from the deep appreciation for the design evolution of the ‘60s and ‘70s, where innovation in printmaking and typography played a pivotal role in shaping cultural movements. The sleek minimalism and vibrant screen-printing techniques of the era allowed for intricate, bold designs that captured the attention of the masses. Inspired by artist, Victor Moscoso and Rick Griffin, and the rise of diverse music genres during the ‘70s, each with its own distinct visual identity, encouraged to exploring typefaces that reflect the era’s rebellious spirit. By merging the groovy, free-form aesthetics of Funk and Psychedelic Rock with the raw, distressed edge of Punk and Heavy Metal, the created font that evokes the boldness and energy of this transformative period in design and music. Although the limitations of fontstruct created harsh ridgid edges, the font still reflects symbols and imagery inspired by the era.

‘Ripped paper’ is a graffiti inspired font focusing specifically on texture and imperfection. The influence taken from punk and grunge styles, as well as artist Chris Ashworth's idea of 'Swiss Grit'. The use of many different fontstruct bricks allows the font to achieve the messy pixelated texture. The font style was created originally from experimentation with ripping paper, hence the name.

'Patty Polk did this and she hated every stitch she did in it.'

My outcome for a UWE project focusing on analogue technologies/processes. My interpretation of this brief caused me to research stitch samplers - especially those made by young children in the 19th and early 20th centuries, which were often charmingly wonky and resentful of being made to create such intricate samplers. My font aims to playfully display the instances of human error and irregularities that are present in hand stitching/embroidery, as well as to replicate as convincingly as possible the look of stitched type.

If this is a description box, I was given a brief to create a themed typeface with a starting point of 'analogue'. I decided to look into pillars and columns from renaissance era architecture.

Outcome for UWE 'What The Font' project, focusing on analogue technologies/processes. I aimed to combine the irregularities and fluidity of traditional cursive handwriting with the texture of cross-stitch and embroidery.

A font based on the theme of anologue for the project "What the font?" ae UWE for Graphic Design BA (Hons). The process for this font began with looking at anologue media like records and how it's digital theme of music relates to young people to day. The outcome of this was dancing so I wanted to make a font reflecting that.
