![]() Step 4: Double-click on the box of a character you would like to import and navigate to ‘File’ on the top left corner of the window to Import an SVG file. Step 3: Open Font Forge and click ‘New’ to open a new work file. Note: It’s better to export into a specific folder and rename each file accordingly to keep each SVG file organised and make the next steps easier for you. Step 2: Select everything you just dragged in the window (Ctrl + A) and export as SVG. Step 1: Open Asset Export on your Illustrator (Window > Asset export) and drag each character/ glyph of your typeface individually into the asset export window. You may also refer to this quick video tutorial to see my process of transferring my font from Adobe Illustrator to Font Forge. I followed this incredibly elaborate tutorial by Mary Winkler. Once I was done refining everything and was satisfied with each letter, I turned it into a usable font using a free software called Font Forge. From there, it allowed me to further refine and tweak the anatomy of each character, making sure every letter stayed consistent yet eccentric. ![]() Once I was satisfied with the structure of the font, I vectorised it in Adobe Illustrator. Viewer discretion advised.Īfter researching more on the psychedelic experience and knowing how I would visualise it, I began translating and refining the ideas into sketches and drafts. A scene from the TV series “ Euphoria” (2019). Cinematographer Marcell Rév, translated the transcendent psychedelic experience into beautiful subtle visuals in this show which had become such an eye-opener for me. ![]() In this show, the main character Rue, experiments with hallucinogens as she struggles to cope with her drug addiction. While designing the typeface, I was heavily inspired by the HBO television series, ‘Euphoria’. In this project, my desire was to visualise my take on the common psychedelic experience, which was focused on visual distortion. ![]() I chose to explore the psychedelic phenomenon and use it as inspiration for my final project. The final project in the Advanced Typography module, was open ended in nature and allowed students to pick a challenge that suited their interests. This type of imagery would come to identify and era. The consumption of psychotropic drugs would induce fascinating psychedelic visual imagery in the late 60s and the better part of the 70s. The experience of the phenomenon would induce hallucinations and inspire the counter culture movement. In my attempt to create a typeface in my Advanced Typography module, I found myself exploring the psychedelic phenomenon that first arose in the late 50s and 60s as a result of US military research. ![]()
