Expression-based Typography

Introduction
Expression-based fonts, often referred to as emotive or mood fonts, are a captivating aspect of typography that imbues text with personality and sentiment. These fonts go beyond the conventional realms of characters and letters. My goal was to create two different typefaces from a small sketch. which would have a peculiar character.
Old Georgian words 
Old Georgian words hold significant importance, emphasizing their historical and cultural value. "Spetaki" refers to something that is extremely white, like snow, or can figuratively denote immaculateness and purity. I compared this word to a person's personality (the one's you are seeing as a drawing); that's why the font is very soft and round.
AI IA
“ai ia” is the first Georgian phrase that a child can write, read and learn - in translation, it means “here is a violet”, the violet being a symbol of innocence. By placing this word on the picture and covering the eyes, I symbolized it with person who has not seen darker side of the world yet. 
Man
in the Georgian language, the term "man" is often used figuratively. This picture is dedicated to one of my favorite Georgian authors and his work. Guram Dochanashvil - "A Man Who Loved Literature"
There is no light without darkness; everything is in harmony with each other. The word 'Kunapeti' means very dark. The font is also strict and linear
Shore
I chose drawings and words randomly and transformed them into stories that hold personal meanings for me. This picture reminds me of the Georgian film "The Other Bank,"​​​​​​​
Kiss
I changed the shapes of the font in the last work, resulting in an appealing visual appearance.
Conclusion
Finally, while working with typography, I came to realize that despite the numerous rules and styles, it's quite easy to create your own unique form with its own character. The completed project took shape with the assistance of Niko Firosmani Styled drawings. I am certainly planning to continue studying and using typography more effectively in the future.
