So there is this title card for Falke before you fight her. And the font rose engine used there always fascinated me. Unfortunately the font can’t be found in the game files. So I decided it would be a fun project to take those five letters and reverse-engineer the font.

So I knew the font was based on a Transitional Serif form principle due to the rounded transitions between stem and serif. I had the dimensions for vertical and horizontal stems. Unfortunately I there was not a single round letter (O, U, Q, C, S, G), so I had to come up with my own idea how to the them. I decided to go for a pronounced shadow axis as the straight axis didn’t sit right with me. I mean, isn’t the game full of queer characters? ; )

When I looked through the game files at a later point I found this image. Well, turns out I guessed wrong with round shapes. They are a lot more straight then I designed mine : / I also learned that the style is probably inspired by the graphic design used in Neon Genesis Evangelion. There they just squashed and stretched Times New Roman or something adjacent. That is probably also the reason why the font wasn’t showing up in the game files.

Anyway, I still like the outcome and will continue working on it.

I also used this in a book layout and really liked it.

Getting really into Destiny 2 lately, and so far, it has been a blast.

The music, the artwork, the lore, is just right: a well‑designed world with well‑designed elements, all fitting together.

And you know what? Playing a game mostly played by dads and moms is a relief: maybe, after all, there is hope for adult media offering mature entertainment through its themes, rather than its visuals and scenes.

A ‘complete package’ in what I would call recreational (electronic) media (after the Irem rebranded meaning) has always interested me the most: a solid art direction is invisible, because it makes a thing complete. Roleplaying games, tabletop games, video games. Nerd stuff.

Incidentally, on the topic of video games, I have been looking for ways to get into R-Type (finding archived manuals has been fun) and a variation of Mega Man as well, but that is one of those slower processes.

Slower processes are slow because if you try to speed them up, they end up consuming so much energy at once, you are basically incinerating yourself. I prefer catalyzing at room temperature.

So far, I am enjoying my summer break quite a bit.

Riso-printed colors are kinda magical.

I made this as the documentation for my BA thesis.

Though I studied design I never really got good at creating professional product shots : ( It taunts me, but I keep telling myself that this probably has its own charm.
