Yeah! Very eye-catching. It would look even cooler with colours.

I think I'm in love.

speechless :O

Excellent.

I tried the font in Microsoft Paint and coloured some of the blocks, taking note of the work of Mondrian for the colours and of the relative luminance of the areas in the font for which areas to colour and in which colour.

Also, I cloned a copy of the font and used the editor, not to alter it but to study how you represented the colours.

Yes please, it would be worthwhile to add more characters to the font.

May I suggest that an E acute character. namely É, would be useful as one could then set the word CAFÉ using the font.

It's an interesting concept. To fully appreciate this work, I would like to see large samples on Flickr. The S is too similar to C,G,O and Q, and the pattern makes it very difficult to distinguish them. I'm glad to see your rating has risen to a more appropriate level. 10/10

Regarding the S, the advance width is now too great; there is a large white area to the right of the glyph design.

I now have the updated version of the font as well as the older version. FontStruct does not count downloads of an updated font by someone who has already downloaded an earlier version in the Stats: display on this page.

If you are feeling like experimenting, you could try making a matched set of four fonts that could be used in layers in a desktop publishing program with the effect of producing a display looking like a coloured font had been used.

One would start by cloning the font four times, naming them Mondrian Yellow, Mondrian Red, Mondrian Blue and Mondrian Black. The colours in the names are just for the use of humans as an indication, the fonts would not "know" that they are to be used in colours.

As a start of the experiment, just one letter, say M, could be altered in each of the four experimental fonts.

In each of them, the black grid lines would not be altered at all.

For the Mondrian Yellow font, the bricks for red, blue and black fills would all be deleted and the bricks for the yellow fill would be changed to solid bricks.

For the Mondrian Red font, the bricks for yellow, blue and black fills would all be deleted and the bricks for the red fill would be changed to solid bricks.

For the Mondrian Blue font, the bricks for yellow, red and black fills would all be deleted and the bricks for the blue fill would be changed to solid bricks.

For the Mondrian Black font, the bricks for yellow, red and blue fills would all be deleted and the bricks for the black fill would be unchanged as it is already solid bricks.

In use, the desktop publishing program would use four layers of the same text, in the various fonts and various colours respectively. The order is not critical, except that Mondrian Black would need to be on top so that the grid lines showed in black in the final result. However, I would tend to go from light to dark in the order yellow, red, blue, black.

The following might be of interest.

Font Stacking is a Good Thing. :-)

I'm not sure if this is my computer, but why is the 7, 8, 9, and middle ring of the 6 darker than everything else? Other than that, this is one of the best fonts I've seen on Fontstruct.

I think I'm in love with the 9. But I liked the old S better; much better. So I would rather suggest to modify the C and the G, increasing the blank on the right.

Thank you for adding the É.

Has anyone been able to download the version with the ten digits all with the Mondrian style patterning and with the alternate S?

I cannot get further than a version of 4:30 pm yesterday that has the capital E acute and digits 0 through to 3 with the Mondrian style patterning and the other digits just in outline and no alternate S.

I notice that the version that I do have is just about one megabyte and I am wondering if the zipping process is refusing to zip a version that is more than one megabyte in size, so that only the latest zipped version is available for download?

Any ideas please?

This work is evolving from good to great! I expected the S to be the same width as the Z, but this wider one is perhaps a better match with the set. After having a second look to Mondrian's works I think you can use a bit more solid black in the pattern. Observe Composition A. I have no more stars left to give.

Fair enough.

@p2pnut: I have just downloaded the latest version of the font and tried it, it is working fine. Thank you.

My concern about a possible one-megabyte limit appears to have been unfounded, the present ttf file is indicated as being 1,316 kilobytes by Windows Explorer, which is well over one megabyte.

Some readers might like to know that the Alt code for E acute is 144, so the E acute can be accessed in Microsoft WordPad and Microsoft Paint.

p2p, have you tried increased spacing between letters to see how it would look? it might help readability by giving a little more spacing between the incredible patterns in the glyphs :)

looks real good. i think it improves legibility. really nice :)

Congratulations! FontStruct Staff have deemed your FontStruction worthy of special mention. “Mondrianish” is now a Top Pick.

Ha! A GIF works!
