SPIKEALLEY TYPEFACE
/ bitmap font creation

The mission of this project was to create a typeface with merely bitmap tools on the online system, Fonstruct. Fontstruct is a brick-based typeface-building tool that allows you to build and create one-of-a-kind designs. The final typeface, titled “Spike Alley” captures the bold, eerie essence of an eye-catching and imaginative aesthetic. The typeface is consistent from letter to letter in its width and height - whether it’s in capital or lower-case form. The serifs of each letter make use of the triangle tool from Fonstruct. This helped create a spiky effect, making the typeface appear to have sharp edges. The triangular edges shape “Spike Alley” as expressive and representative of barbed wire edges.
