I like typography. It's one of the first things I notice whenever I visit a website or open a new app. I keep note of fonts that I would like to use in the future, but lately, I've had a desire to make my own. In the popular anime Dragon Ball Z, the character Bulma fixes a device known as a scouter (something that scans someone's "power level"). When she scans other characters, a number and the text FIGHT is displayed on the screen. I decided to recreate that font. Well, the English version of it because most depictions actually show an alien language. It isn't necessarily a full-fledged font but something I made for practice. There are no complex bezier curves here, but I was pleasantly surprised with the results.

Want to buy this font? Head over to my store.

First off, the font is all uppercase. Most glyphs are the same width as the "D" shown below; wider letters are the same width as the "H". The diagonal cut on the D is the same angle as the numbers 4 and 7. In terms of cheating (I decided it wasn't gonna be too strict with the guidelines) I freehanded the middle of the "N" and "Z", and the letter F's smaller arm is on its own space. I also had to cheat on the number 4, but the difference is subtle. 

Here are some more process shots.

Here is the app I made using the font! I coded the app for iOS with Swift 3. You can download it for iPhone here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/scouting-device/id1343623607
