My font, "Phonte", used to spell out various words that you might see in the real world used for signage or labels. Phonte can be described as static, creepy or pix-elated.

My second font, named Phonte, needs some refining but overall I enjoy the sloppiness of the typeface. It's almost reminding me of a late night teen TV program from the 90's.

[P1]:Final

                                               Phase 1

                                                Phase 2
                                                 Phase 3
  

 This project required us to explore the different ways of arranging text on a grid. This was done in three phases. The first phase was a more hands on approach. We were given a set of words in different sizes and boldness. We arranged them in different patterns, keeping hierarchy in mind, 15 ways and taped them to the grid. Phase two was the same except we were to do a digital version on the computer. We also were allowed to add color and rules. Finally phase 3 was an exploration of over sized type. We were allowed to make any word or letter as large as we wanted.
