The Games of Murderers
A project given to us in University, the aim, to create a typeface to suit our chosen instance. I chose the Games of Murderers because it instantly came to mind after looking at the list. Horror is something that i enjoy and i liked the challenge of applying game into a typeface and mixing them together.
Mixing game and horror together was harder than i thought. Game typefaces tend to be big, bulky and almost child like. Where as horror typefaces are sharp, thin and jagged. So blending these together became difficult.
I decided to crack on with a horror typeface and then add the game in afterwards. I looked into maybe trying to decay the horror typeface using game, i tried normal game shapes, such as Pacman, snake (i looked into retro games for these) and then i came across tetris shapes. I found that this worked well and they suited each other well.
So here is my final typeface, i have included upper case, lower case, numbers and symbols.
