An original hand drawn typeface called Typeadelic, created by Alex Kearns in 2021.
Typeadelic Typeface
Brief: Create an original typeface and incorporate it into a poster design and type spec poster.
Concept: Inspired by organic hand drawn forms and typography of the 60s and 70s, Typeadelic possesses a retro, psychedelic feel similar to the essence of a Fillmore poster. Typeadelic feels natural and hand drawn, as if someone were creating a hand drawn poster for a rock or alternative music group.
Created in 2021 by Alex Kearns, the typeface is monocase and the letter forms have an upward slant in the crossbars. They are rounded and thick with fairly small counters. Each character was hand drawn and intended to feel that way. Designed to feel fun and welcoming, this typeface is perfect to lighten the mood and bring some playfulness into any design piece.
**I drew this typeface completely by hand and then created the OTF file using Illustrator and the Glyphs app.
