Fuse Font Design

This was a font design project where we had to create a font using anything we wanted as inspiration. I decided to use pencil shavings, thus the name Shavings. We also had to design a poster to accompany our font. I decided to use this poem on mine:

The Pencil.

Broken beyond belief, he seeks aid.

Grating against the symbiotic benefactor.

He improves his life, he makes himself useful.

He leaves behind his past 

in a small unobtrusive pile.

Sharpened beyond belief, 

to again leave his mark upon the world.

The pencil slowly pulls away

from the sharpener.
