Dear FontStructors,<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for our second competition of the year, this time on the theme of \u201cserif\u201d.<\/p>\n

Competition Brief<\/h3>\n

Our theme is the serif<\/a>: \u201ca small line attached to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol\u201d as wikipedia describes it \u2013 so your designs should focus on these strokes in some way or form. Serifs come in various shapes \u2013 Old-style, Didone, Slab and others. You can use any type(s) of serif you wish in your competition entries. Perhaps you could even devise a new serif form of your own.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

FontStructors specialize in extravagant and experimental display fonts, so feel free to place your serifs in the foreground \u2013 they don\u2019t have to be small as wikipedia suggests.<\/p>\n

For typographic inspiration, please take a look at our Serif<\/a> and Slab Serif<\/a> category pages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Competition Time Period<\/h3>\n

Wednesday, 8th November 2017 \u2013 Saturday\u00a02nd December, 2017<\/p>\n
