This typeface is loosely based on 80s era 8-bit games and fonts; but instead of hard edges such as squares, dots are used. Constellations also influenced the design of the font.

Sweet Alley is a boxy font set with ombre shading in the Uppercase and no ombre in the lowercase. All using circles to construct the font.

I really wanted to make a font with a fade effect in it, so I created one. Have fun with it :)

When life gives you halflemons, make Halfade!

This is what I call a Plain Spurless design. There are no actual spurs, only right-angled corners to suggest spurs. All lowercase letters are like this except r, which is a Rounded Spurless because it needs to curve to avoid looking like Γ, and because it's only 2 bricks wide so there's no other place for it to curve.

I made this to have mostly right angles, to have a condensed look (see filrt), and to be good for speedreading. My own experiments in speedreading favored glyphs with simple curves which don't terminate in small arcs (see CGJSZfgjrsyz@()[]{}). There are exceptions (c2369?$) because these are more recognizeable when they have such arcs. Additionally, glyphs such as BPRXY have slightly rounded counters near the vertical center, which enhanced their readability without causing them to look out of place.

The remainder of design considerations were things which are fairly idiosyncratic and unlikely to be discovered by others. For instance, the descender of Q is 2 bricks, while lowercase letters' descenders are 3 bricks and symbols' descenders are 1 brick. This is the result of a technique that attempts to visually codify different cases & types of glyphs. The slightly different contours thus formed by each word on its underside seem to enhance both readability and aesthetics.

Am Just trying this...

My first typeface as part of my Graphic Design Project, my theme was Destruction, where I then considered digital glitch art
