Finished 10 Typefaces

Permanent and Time Roman.

The lines are inspired by scaffolding, I wanted to letter to look strong and permanent. Scaffolding is used to support building and help them to last longer.

I experimented with adding extra crossbars to the letters, I wanted the typeface to look structured and stable. 

This one again is inspired by scaffolding, this time just working with straight lines. I found it very challenging to work with the curve of the letter, however after

 a few attempts I am happy with the final result.

This one was again inspired by scaffolding.

This typefaces is supposed to look sunken in the ground. I got the idea from fossils, but things that are deeper in the ground are likely to be more permanent.

Adding crossbars to letters that never previously had them. By doing so it adds extra support to the letters and makes them more structured. 

Making the letters thicker. Something that is bigger and fatter is more likely to be more permanent. Due to things like erosion larger things would take longer to wear away, therefore lasting longer.

Making the letters taller. This is the same concept as in the previous letter, bigger things are stronger and more permanent. 

Equaling out the thickness to make the typeface more balanced and stable.

Overlapping the letter expresses how the more of something there is, more more permanent it is.

All of my typefaces were based on how I could make the letters look stronger and more permanent. A lot were inspired by scaffolding as this allows a building to be more structured and stable.
