okay, this is the first try of my flame font.  I saw the flame shapes on fontstructure and they just spoke to me.  So then I wrote this like it’s some newsletter from hell.  I only made capital letters, I think this font would be only used for decorative purposes, so it wouldn’t be used to write out whole paragraphs.  I screenshot this directly from the webpage’s preview screen and did two letters in each shot, hence the unevenness of some of the words sorry about that.

I could see this font being used on posters for a hell-themed party (or a New Jersey Devils fan gathering).  Or I can see it being used by a snowboarding brand, either on a snowboard itself or a t-shirt or sweater.

I am really really pleased with the “Y”.  the “W” actually gave me the most trouble.  I tweaked the “W”, “D”, and “S” after this first go.Screen shot 2014-02-10 at 5.40.43 PM Screen shot 2014-02-10 at 5.40.48 PMI worked on tweaking the “N” to using the thicker straight lines, but felt it just looked better with the thinner lines.  I think Lupton would hate that I didn’t keep line widths consistent, so here is a comparison Screen shot 2014-02-10 at 5.47.44 PM
