This font is my first project while studying Graphic Design at UWE. The theme is order, the direction I took was inspired by universal symbols, how they bring order into our lives and what impact that has. When we see a symbol its message is clear almost instantaneously. For example, the gents, it is a world where words are not fundamental or at all useful. Symbols also take us back to the roots of communication, to a world where words simply don’t exist. By using words and symbols I wanted to show a relationship between the universal symbols and the written word, through presenting a complete juxtaposition. What do we rely on more, words or symbols? This symbol-filled dot matrix style typeface is easy to read and has a continuous flow from upper to lower case to numbers and punctuation. www.franciscosportfolio.co.uk www.scarabdesigns.co.uk This is a clone

decided to see what this would look like in fontstruct. the maven poster is a classic and the symbols were ripe for fontstructing :) one or two i did "freehand" but for most i used a grid overlay over an enlarged image of each icon. even then it was a challenge. i'm not much for pixel manipulation but it was a good exercise :)

I have tried to capture the essence of Japanese neon signs that light up tokyo. Japan is a very diverse cultures but also has its limits. Through this font I have tried to express the uniformity of the culture through only lower case and a defined shape.

This font was created under the title of 'decay' and explores the raw natural shapes of origami or paper folding. I wanted to create a font around ripped and destroyed paper while still keeping the simplistic forms of the shapes that appear within origami.

Inspired by the word 'dangerous' I have created a fontstruction based upon voodoo, ouija boards and back words writing. The font tends to include different shapes for instance 'crosses', some of these shapes have been inspired by typeface designer, Rudolf Koch 'book of signs'.

I created this font to explore the basic shapes within origami and paper folding, this also led to the creation of my other font 'Decami' which further explores ripped or decayed origami.

This typeface has been created based on the theme 'Mobile'. I tried out a wide range of experimentation when it came to producing hand rendered work, as I felt I needed to work out what would best capture the general sense of the word. I initionaly thought I would use the aspect of being free and having my letters being very fluid. I thought road systems along with way-finding signs interested me more and I used the basic shape of the arrows used on the motor way signage in the UK. I experimented with curves and different shaped arrows but I settled on this because others made it too playful.

Public transport & travel related icons. Most of these are designed to leave room above/below themselves for text while still fitting into a square canvas. So, they can more easily be used to create actual program icons, signs, etc.

This was my first icons font so it doesn't conform to the 10x10 standard I established later for fonts like Donjonikons...

A - Airplane

B - Bus

C - Cable Car

D - Dirigible

E - Escalator

F - "Phone" Sign

G - Gondola

H - Helicopter

I - "Parking" Sign

J - "Lost & Found" Sign

K - "Luggage Claim" Sign

L - Locomotive

M - Maglev/Monorail Train

N - "Infirmary" Sign

O - Ocean Liner

P - APC/Armored Car

Q - Bus (front view)

R - Rickshaw

S -Sailboat

T -Trolley

U - Riverboat/Ferry

V - Van

W - Taxi

X - Boxcar

Y - Bike/Scooter

Z - Zeppelin

Neon-style lettering in 5x5. I tried to keep the considerations of neon tubes in mind. Most forms are simple and several of them get repurposed for other glyphs. Further, the bends which would occur in actual neon tubing were taken into account while routing each glyph.

A closer look will find some advanced glyphs which would have to be produced by a master glassblower in order to work as neon fixtures (such as DHJKXOQ08*#+).

This is spaced like a pixel font so that it can be used as one. Fonts which work especially well in both pixel and high-res mediums can be considered Hybrids.

"Lightened Son" is an anagram for "Neon Delights".

Idea for Improvement: A wiring solution - some system designed to be on a layer behind the letters so that they look convincingly wired up.

This is a font that I made for fictional subway signage. The lowercase letters look like garbage on lower sizes.

You can use this for anything you want.
