Display Typeface

Initially, in this assignment we were each randomly assigned a photo set from a blog. We were supposed to create a display typeface inspired by a photo set. The photo I was assigned was a set of close up photos of a planet. We used the website Fontstruct to create this typeface. Due to the system we were working on, I was constrained to making my typeface in a grid form using given shapes and strokes, this proved to be very challenging. A display typeface is a typeface intended for short sentenced and large-scale purposes. Therefore, they are often very exaggerated or to express a certain attitude or vibe. In my final display typeface, I used small stars and banner-like streaks to represent shooting stars and space.
