A font made with Super Mario World sprites, starting with the letter they represent!

Note: the shading might not look that good on mobile

(The only ones I couldn't make were X and Z, feel free to suggest something for them.)

    ‘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.

                        I was developing ideas and thought this one was worth finishing as it's experimental and a bit unusual. Sorry I can't find anywhere to give it a category.

                                        This blocky and industrial font was inspired by architechtural features on a large multistory car park near where I live. I took pictures of multiple elements from the building and rearranged and rotated the shapes to create letter forms, and used shading to create a 3 dimensional effect to mimic the structures depth when seen in person.

                                             Mltng Pnt is a typeface that took form from the word destructive. It's aim is to be an illustrative typeface that focuses on the destruction of the natural letter form. This process creates a lot of visual noise, distorting the viewers vision and adding to this sense of destruction on a more palpable level. The figures were inspired by melting butter, hence the name 'Mltng Pnt' (melting point). This name also suggests a point of no return, capitalising on the theme of destruction.

                                                        Aqua - a typeface inspired by the reflections, shadows, highlights and transparency of water. My starting point was the theme of fluidity, and I developed my ideas by making observational drawings of water in containers. At the same time I paid close attention to the letterforms of existing sans serif fonts, and was further informed by similar styles of type used in net art. Aqua's transparency lends a subtle quality, while its 3D appearance helps it to stand off the page.

                                                          When I first heard the theme of ‘Continuous’ I thought of pieces of string or pipelines. I was going to incorporate this element of solid continuity into my font. However I decided to express continuity through negativity. I highlight areas of letters that are not usually focused on as the main criteria. I paid attention to the corners, as they have proven vital in forming legibility. In a way, I was experimenting with what is the absolute minimum required to provide legibility.

                                                                My first project as a student at UWE studying Graphic Design was to create a font using FontStruct. I chose to develop the theme messy, I thought to myself ‘what makes a mess?’ This led me to the idea of toast, it’s messy and especially when burnt. I cut letters out of burnt toast, I really liked the effect it had made therefore it influenced me to develop it further within FontStruct. I decided to use Helvetica as a guide purely for its simple, clean letterforms, hence why I have named my typeface ‘Burnt Helvetica’. I wanted to really capture the essence of the burnt areas with shading, therefore my inspiration came from cutting the burnt toast around a Helvetica letter template, photographing it and printing it on graph paper. Due to the nature of the font being messy I wouldn’t use it on anything formal or of importance, I feel that it would be suitable to be used within children associated designs, definitely food related designs and perhaps something rather playful or of course, messy. This is my first attempt using FontStruct all feedback is welcome.
