A neon-signs-inspired chromatic fontstruction for the Color Competition.

Manufaktur

x

The cyanotype was developed in 1842 by Sir John Herschel. This process, commonly used for blueprints, involved placing an object onto a surface and covering it in a solution of Iron (III) salts. Once the solution is exposed to ultraviolet light, the Iron (III) salts are converted into Iron (II) salts. After exposure, the suface is washed and the water reacts with the Iron (II) salts to form a Prussian Blue pigment that blueprints are known for.

Manufaktur is a monospaced typeface and while it has upper and lower case letters, it is really unicase. Manufaktur is intentionally stripped of most characters, coming with only the most essential. The idea being that Manufaktur has the bare minimum, but is still functional as a typface. It was designed with the intentions to be used in a machine shop more than on a page.

Notes:

Manufaktur is set in #002c8c, as a reference to blueprints. I had wanted to use Pantone's Prussian Blue (#003153) but it was too dark.

Some of the stenil lines (C, J, O, Q, U, 0, and 2) were made using white bricks. I had experimented ways to get the stencil lines without using white bricks, but it looked much cleaner with them. Being a color font, you should be able to change the color of the white bricks to mach your background. It's not ideal, but it's what looked the best.

Work in progress. It seems this idea wont ripe fast enough to reach the competition. Still it was fun to play with these color options.

ColorComp entry, inspired by the Memphis art style. I started this originally a few years ago with several color variations (using the three main colors), but I couldn't decide which ones to go with, so this sat unfinished for a while. In the end I decided to go with this.

Opening Day of Marvel's "Madame Web" movie!
Keeping it simple with a shaded 3D extrude and red spider-sense lines.
I wonder if the Spiderwomen have the Peter Tingle? 

Lessons in Composition, Vol. 1

///

Less of a typeface and more of a concept, Lessons in Composition, Vol. 1 (LC,V.1) was a fun experiment with a compossion based typeface and negative space. Strictly geometric, each character in LC,V.1 is made out of rectangles, circles, curves, and the subtraction of these shapes.

///

Notes:

LC,V.1 is set in #f90000 (red) and #2a2a2a (slightly off black). All of the white space is transparent. 

colorcomp entry #1, might make another entry soon

Let's toggle letters. Uppercase are off, lowercase are on.

I was looking for an excuse to play around with color layers, so I colorized one of my old Dingbot designs.

Bevelled + inline sans serif. Capitals only.

Gob Pixi is an amalgamation of different experiments with colour, display type and visual effects throughout the years of working with a comfortable, personal design palette.

Having been obsessed with grain textures and primary + secondary colours throughout the start of 2020s, I was moved to translate that into typography after seeing Kilotype's Lofi Forest "fizzy-fying" an otherwise sharp-looking Roman/Serif.

Also, I have worked on a type project that got me to layer different coloured shadows and highlights above each other, so this is my attempt at translating that effect onto another typeface that I've shelved for quite a while now. (I happened to come up with something similar to Get Yourself Connected by chance and didn't know what to make do with it.)

My first color font attempt and more of an excersise. I apologize if I got influenced by something I may have seen on here, it was not intentional.

Despite plans, due lack of shine, I could not relate it to gold.

NOTE: There is a white layer used to mask various edges.

Discoshar means Discoball

Happy Hollydays! Inspired by elmoyenique's colours

✏️ Last minute font ; )

A fun challenge for a colorblind campfire aficionado such as myself. Thank goodness for hexcodes. Please enjoy~

Inspired by the superb Schaar by four, in a pixelated mood. It is also an optical experiment. The diacritics needs some extra work.

Feeling inspired after reading Arcade Game Typography: The Art of Pixel Type by Toshi Omagari, I set out to make my own 8x8 pixel font. I worked with a similar approach to the one I used in the larger grid font offstruct rgb.

First started in Adobe Illustrator, each character consists of three iterations of the same 6x6 pixel letter: in RGB Red, Green and Blue. These were layered, offset by one pixel diagonally, filling the 8x8 box. To achieve additive blending, I applied the "Lighten" transparancy setting. Combinations of overlaying these three primary RGB colours result in the secondary RGB coloured pixels Yellow, Cyan and Magenta. In the additive mixing of coloured lights, the equal blending of all three primary colours results in White. All pixels were then entered manually into the fontstructor and black pixels were added for display purposes.

What if Bank Gothic tried to dress up as Copperplate Gothic for Halloween?

A modular colour font inspired by toy bricks and soft plastic textures, suggested to use in large sizes.

Inspired from Tom Hultgren's Traffic but with two layers of color, 45 degree cut.

im probably late to the party aren't i

What? There's a ColorComp? Great excuse to release the Marvel Movie font that I wasn't able to finish in time.
