Still a work in progress, here are the capital letters so far. I'm not terribly happy with the Y and some of them are a bit heavier feeling so I may play around with them to feel the same weight. But I'm super excited to see how this will turn out.
Started with some sketches and a concept word in upper and lower case. Some little scribbles from my professor but he was pretty happy with it.
Thumbnails of the capital letters. The next 7 pages are larger sketches to finalize the design some.
Done onto the grid paper. I scanned this in to use as my base for building up the typeface.
A little look at the glyphs file. Right now I named it prehistoric but I'm not set on the name. If you guys have any suggestions, I'd love to hear it!
Once this typeface is done, I'll have it free to download. If you want to be notified, let me know and I'll send out some links! It's going to be q couple months as this is just one of my ongoing projects for class
Cat tax. This little guy was our local stray, affectionately named Raptor after his broken toe that healed into a raptor like claw. My fiance and I had pretty much adopted him, putting out food and water. He trusted me enough to trim the mats of fur off his back. Sadly he showed up one day with bad injuries. I took him to the emergency vet where he was diagnosed with FIV and had to be put down. I just hope I brought him some peace.
FP edit: HOLY CRAP THANK YOU GUYS!
I've never had an art related post get this far! I'm just trying to get through college and this is a nice little sign that I'm in the right field. Love you guys.
I do have an Instagram if anyone is interested

As a designer who works with all kinds of fonts, this is fantastic. I love it, like my mythos font.

Thank you!

If I can make a suggestion, perhaps for the Y, a downward pointing dinosaur's head in the notch of the letter?
theoutlawedwoman
That's what I did essentially using a micro raptor with the tail coming around. I'm just going to try with other dinos I think. Thank you <3

I can see a whole new generation of dinosaur loving kids suddenly enthralled with reading.
theoutlawedwoman
Omg I would love this to be used in a kids book! Maybe I'll write one just as an excuse to use this lol
Strawberry13
Both my boys were slow to start reading (avid readers now.) They would have loved this.
FerbErrger
Your edits make a nice improvement, what letter was hardest to design? I or Y
theoutlawedwoman
The Y by far. I'm going to be playing with it more
LadyRex
Uh yes, I would love this when finished

Love the font, but I gotta say, the Y is a bit too distorted imo. Makes it stand out cause other letters retain some clean edges.
theoutlawedwoman
I totally agree. I did 5 different versions of the Y before going with that one so o had something to turn in to my professor.
fantazingo
Maybe show the mock-ups and get some internet consensus?

Holy shit, amazing design work. Is the “J” the horsysaurus?
fissionchris
Seriously dude, from one designer to another, that’s impressive work. Nice ligatures, the whole shebang.
theoutlawedwoman
J is lambeosaurus <3

That would be great!

No expense spared in sleepless nights and student loans.

Apparently typeface isn’t able to by copyrighted in the United States

Thanks for the info, did not know that.

Copyright is intrinsic, you're possibly thinking of patents

I'll have to do that

Too late already done it. Let me know when you’re a millionaire palaeontologist and I’ll sell back to you ;)

Awesome. You should name it Raptor after the sweet kitty.
theoutlawedwoman
That's a good idea. I may play off raptor
SindarElla
And thanks for being so sweet to Raptor. I'm sure he was glad to have comfort from a familiar face at the end :)
SindarElla
Also the Dino typeface is cool as hell. I gotta figure a rain to use it once it's available. Save The Dates for our wedding, perhaps! Yesss
SindarElla
Figure out a reason** dammit
theoutlawedwoman
Thanks, that means a lot to me. It broke my heart when the vets gave me the news. He wasn't even my cat, but I really loved him.

Just had to give it a try!
dinosaursarebadass
FUCK YEAH!!!! CAN YOU MAKE MORE?!
Qualtagh
technically yes, but not efficiently. Looks like OP is making a proper font out of it which would be waaay easier to write with.
dinosaursarebadass
I saved that one so I could use it every time I say that, haha.
Qualtagh
as befits your username!
dinosaursarebadass
Yes! Anything dinosaurs. I even got my son to like them, though he likes cars even more. But I like them too, haha.
