Designing digital typefaces
My interest in typography started a long time ago when I was studying in London at London College of Communication. The school was originally called London College of Printing, and you can still feel that printing heritage in the way typography is taught there.

We had many workshops connected to type and print. I loved letterpress workshops, the process of working with physical letters, arranging them, playing with spacing, and experimenting with different compositions. But even though typography was everywhere around us, I never actually learned how to create a digital font. We printed letters, experimented with layouts, and explored typography in many ways - but making a font file itself was something I never did.

Almost ten years after graduating, I decided to try making my own typeface.

1st experiment - Good luck have fun
This typeface was created during a workshop. It includes lowercase letters of the English alphabet.

A slightly awkward new mouse made a strange movement that became the letter “a”. At the same time, the unusually large screen made the letter look very small — only 8 pixels high.
Inside that tiny “a” I noticed an interesting pattern in the negative space, and I started building the rest of the letters based on that pattern.

The font was made using FontStruct, a website where you can easily experiment and build your own typefaces using simple blocks. It’s a very playful tool and a great way to start exploring type design.

You can view and download the typeface for free on FontStruct here:
