After finding a free online resource called Vectr to create my font, I started drafting what I had in writing. This is the first draft I created using this software:
After consulting with my partner, we spent a long time creating words and looking at how readable the font was. In order for this to work well on a poster, it needed to be clear and easy to read. We also looked at the American Horror Story font because we realized our font was sort of similar.
Features like the square dots under certain letters help fill awkward spaces and ground letters such as 'M' and 'W'. This is what we ended up using as our final:
We named our font 
, inspired by the theme of the escape room.

I love that you chose such a different route than most of the other groups going with a much more geometric and abstract runic style rather than a literal sense of cold and icicle that I think we all have latched on to. My favorite part has to be the "AB" ligature that you created, which really works well with the minimal style of your typeface!
ReplyDeleteI admire how all of the letters are connected, but each still has unique characteristics. Comparing this font to your previous designs, this one is very legible. Not only could this font be used for this escape room, but I could picture it being used in some hipster store as well. I agree with Sahil, that this approach was different than most others, and by taking this approach it allowed your font to be more versatile. Well done!
