About Floral Decay Font Family


This is Floral Decay, your seasonal autumn font with jaded, weathered, and earthy contours of rustic lettering. As they blend into words, the characters evoke floral arrangements of a decaying beauty. It is versatile, playful, and perfect for Graphic Design decorations!

This font is unique because, in order to create it, I had to answer some tricky questions:

What makes autumn… autumn?

Capturing the essence of the other seasons into your letters comes easier. For instance, in order to suggest summer, you only need to draw a few flowers. How about autumn? You could garnish your letters with a few grapes, you might think, but it would only result in a grape-themed font.

The notion that is more directly associated with autumn is the image of falling and withering leaves, which brought me to the second question.

How exactly are you going to create something beautiful out of a somewhat morbid premise, like wilted leaves?

Well, I soon realized that by creating a handwritten font and preserving the right imperfections, you can actually portray collateral beauty. In this context, asymmetry is important because it suggests decay.

Further on, the design concept required the letters to come very close together, so that every typed word can be regarded as a floral arrangement. How close together, though? As much as possible without confusing one with the other, risking a lack of legibility. Therefore, in contrast with the demo version of this font, this actual version provides the ideal kerning.

About Mircea Boboc

I am a Romanian poet, novelist, and a graphic artist. I started this foundry as an experimental project that aims to answer the following questions: Can a font narrate a story? Is there space for poetry in lettering?Very often, I conceptualize the font by painting imaginative letters on paper and cardboard. I then crop them and spray them with colors, infusing them with an artistic energy that eventually transitions into the digital version as well.Thus, the objective of this foundry is to offer you an avant-garde assortment of display fonts. Within them, you'll frequently encounter letterbats, fragments of abstract illustrations, and psychedelic shapes evoking memories of dreams and childlike innocence.Each font I craft serves as an ode to the universal freedom of creation, so I imagine that graphic designers, visual poets, and artists of all sorts might find this particularly intriguing.Feel free to explore some of my work here: https://www.behance.net/bobocmircea
