Week 2 _ Typography Task

OSOBasic:

This font was inspired by the Soul Festival font I found in my previous blog post. I was really captured by the idea of using basic shapes to make a simple yet aesthetic design. This font "Basic" is essentially a square with a few lines that is easy to read and not harsh on the eyes.

Incline 45:

The font "Incline 45" was inspired by my previous study in Mechanical Engineering. I developed the idea of this font from when I had to sketch beams to analyse the forces on the joints and hinges. Most of the difficult problems with my mathematical problems were beams suspended at angles hence the idea of incline 45. The idea behind the font is to use a serif style font at a 45 degree angle. The serif's have a little semi-circle on them as I previously drew for hinges in my old engineering free body diagram drawings.

Track 9:

This design was a rough idea I thought of from riding the train. I noticed sections of the tracks when they would change for the train to follow different paths. I thought this idea would be a simple way to create a different type of font with not too many graphics but enough to make it stand out from the rest.
