Space Rocks

Hand-drawn Title Lettering inspired by 1950s Science Fiction.

“Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! The next episode of Space Rocks is on tonight! What’s it about? Well, it’s all to do with this family of astronauts who crash-land on Mars and how they survive all sorts of alien creatures and killer storms! The science is really real too! Who needs school!!!”

And so goes the story of one young fan whose imagination is captured by the latest offering in a golden age of TV science fiction. A brand of 1950s programming that offered a lighthearted and optimistic view of the future full of exploration, discovery, and hazardous adventure! Sometimes even a cautionary tale to live on in your nightmares! With Space Rocks, I want to capture this vibe with an all-caps design inspired by the opening titles of these shows, fully hand-drawn with a range of discretionary ligatures that add a comic (not atomic!) touch.

The package includes Regular and Outlined (all hand-drawn) versions with a complete set of alternatives to help maintain the analogue look. This font also includes unique uppercase and lowercase characters, along with numerals, punctuation, language support, underlines, and symbols. It’s perfect for movie and television titles, album covers, posters, or any design that needs a dramatic, spacey, and fun look. Check out the visuals to see it in action.
