Here is the finished typeface. I chose to create capital letters as it worked well with the geometric shapes of the links. I think the typeface would look effective as a heading but would be impossible to read as body text!
I thought i would start this blog with decorative type design. For my graphic design class in Australia we were asked to create a decorative typeface from found objects. I chose to create mine out of links. On the left are images i drew of swimwear clasps, broach clasps, earring hooks, a buckle and a jewellery clasp. I then used their unique shapes to create letters.
