Inspired by the metallic-looking keyboard key, FW Key Frame is basically a digital and glyph enlarged replica of what you used to find this font.

An airy, but edgy assembly using traditional Latin bricks. The patterns within the characters exude a slight hint of Hieroglyphic etchings.
My first attempt. Had some extra time on my hands, so thought it might be fun to give it a try. It is a work in progress, consisting of only upper case letters. More to come.
All feedback welcome.

This is the font I have designed for the first module in my Graphic Design degree at UWE Bristol.
My typeface is based on the word 'Energy'.
The design journey started with me looking into electrical energy, and the result (See: "Fused Font Thin") led me to explore magnetic energy patterns within iron fillings. Next, during the process of creating a magnetic energy typeface I saw similarities with sound waves in my designs, and so also tried to combine the two. The result was "Energy Vibration".
Lots of energy drinks were consumed for inspiration and staying up for hours trying to battle the server. Full character set now complete.

*Updated to 26 characters*
I started this Fontstruction with a blank canvas and blank mind, and decided to draw my phone (guess which one that is!) to just warm up. Before I knew it, the idea for the whole design was staring me right in the face. Hopping around the internet, looking for images and information on which phones to draw was great fun. Who knew that the first ‘personal communicator’ was the IBM South Bell Simon, which combined the features of a mobile phone, a pager, a PDA, and a fax machine. Yes, you read that right! The Simon was also nine inches tall.

Because when you finally run out of ball terminals, you get hexagons.
Because embellishments should never stay in the same place.
Because stencils and sans-serif are both cool.
Because oddities make the font.
Because you don't always need to justify everything.
Because...because. Therefore.

I know something similar has been done before; I just created a different interpretation.
