FONT DESIGN
Design One:
HACKED
Introducing "Hacked," a typeface design that brings the theme of destruction to life. This unique and captivating font captures the essence of letters unravelling from their original form as if they have been thoroughly 'destroyed.' Crafted with precision, this typeface employs geometric shapes, created using fontstruct.com, a font-building website.
Drawing inspiration from the pixelated landscapes of video games and the striking aesthetics of glitch fonts, Hacked embodies chaos and disruption. The deliberate use of geometric shapes adds an additional layer of complexity to the design, bringing a sense of structure to the disarray. Each letter in Hacked appears to be in a perpetual state of flux as if it is constantly shifting and breaking apart. The deliberate distortion of letters creates a powerful visual impact, leaving an impression of destruction and fragmentation.
I wanted Hacked to unleash a wave of destruction and disorder upon the conventional notion of letterforms, harnessing geometric shapes, pixel art, and glitch aesthetics to create a font that is truly one-of-a-kind. This captivating design serves as a powerful reminder that even within chaos, beauty can emerge, and innovation can thrive.

Design Two: (Experimental Design)
Trellis
Trellis, is a one-of-a-kind typeface design that pushes the boundaries of visual communication. This innovative typeface captures attention by taking a digitally manipulated photograph of a crane and transforming it into individual letters. A visually striking, unique way to convey texts that traditional typefaces simply cannot match.
By using a photograph of a crane as the basis for each letter, Trellis creates a tantalizing sense of depth and dimension. The letters take on an organic quality, infused with the captivating atmosphere of the crane image. But this typeface doesn't stop there - it embraces the non-conformity of inorganic, asymmetrical letters that vary in size.
Through various digital manipulation techniques, the possibilities are endless. Lighting adjustment, compositing, and resizing - these techniques are employed to enhance the overall mood and atmosphere of the original photograph. Each letter becomes a canvas for artistic expression, adding texture and intrigue to every word formed by this typeface.
Trellis invites you to explore an entirely new realm of typographic design. Experience the power of a typeface rooted in the real world, yet expanded by the limitless creativity of digital manipulation.
