OUGD403 Studio Brief 1 | 'Violent fonts'

To see what was already out there and what I was up against I Googled 'violent fonts'. The results were mostly from font websites such as 'daFont' and '1001 Free Fonts'. At first I didn;t think this would prove to be of any use but thn I realised a lot of these fonts weren't designed for a particular reason other than to look violent, which is my aim for this brief.

Here are some examples of what I came across:

This font is strong and powerful and could be seen as violent due to those aspects, but personally I just see it as a high impact title font for headlines and such. If I was to use this as inspiration I could take Futura, make it bold or extra bold and add some small serifs. 

I see this font as one that would come under the 'grunge' category but I sort of get the violence feel of it and what the designer wanted to do. This reminds me of the type used on the 'Saw' movie posters wit the additional lines that could represent movement and distortion. 

I could see this font being used for a metal album title font or maybe a low budget 80s movie. The sharp edges and points are something I will definitely be using in my typeface as it clearly portrays a violent and aggressive feel. I think the designer may have used Futura as a reference when designing this as the N rises above and below the other letters just like the N in Futura.
