This FontStruction is loosely based on van Doesburg's alphabet of 1919. I have not followed his strict grid of 25 x 25 (unlike Freda Sack and David Quay's revival, Architype Van Doesburg, or P22's De Stijl Regular) -- in other words, some of my caps and numerals deviate from van Doesburg's original design. Also, I've added a lower case and diacritics (which I am currently updating).I.K.%20Bonset%20was%20the%20pseudonym%20that%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FTheo_van_Doesburg%22%3ETheo%20van%20Doesburg%3C%2Fa%3E%20used%20to%20publish%20%20Dada%20poetry%20in%20his%20magazine%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fsdrc.lib.uiowa.edu%2Fdada%2FDe_Stijl%2F%22%3E%3Cem%3EDe%20Stijl%3C%2Fem%3E%3C%2Fa%3E.%0D%0A%0D%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3EThis%20FontStruction%20is%20loosely%20based%20on%20van%20Doesburg%27s%20alphabet%20of%201919.%20I%20have%20not%20followed%20his%20strict%20grid%20of%2025%20x%2025%20%28unlike%20Freda%20Sack%20and%20David%20Quay%27s%20revival%2C%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.foundrytypes.co.uk%2Ffoundry_architype_1%2Fvan_doesburg.html%22%3EArchitype%20Van%20Doesburg%3C%2Fa%3E%2C%20or%20P22%27s%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.p22.com%2Fproducts%2Fdestijl.html%22%3EDe%20Stijl%20Regular%3C%2Fa%3E%29%20--%20in%20other%20words%2C%20some%20of%20my%20caps%20and%20numerals%20deviate%20from%20van%20Doesburg%27s%20original%20design.%20Also%2C%20I%27ve%20added%20a%20lower%20case%20and%20diacritics%20%28which%20I%20am%20currently%20updating%29.

This is the 9x5 version for those of us who don't get to work that early. Here's a sample in action.

If you do decide to use Font Theo, we'd be chuffed if you emailed us images of it in use, thanks.

4 downloads4%20downloads498 glyphs98%20glyphs98A favorite of 1 userA%20favorite%20of%201%20user1My take on a typeface based on the type on the cover of the first issue of the De Stijl magazine by Theo van Doesburg. I tried to utilize the clever tricks from the magazine, but of course it still has it's weak spots and could never be anything but a display typeface. Most glyphs are 8x8 blocks, simple as can be. One great thing about this font is that it never needs kerning. The tracking is set at 1.5 blocks, feel free to clone and change if you don't find it a suitable default.My%20take%20on%20a%20typeface%20based%20on%20the%20type%20on%20the%20cover%20of%20the%20first%20issue%20of%20the%20De%20Stijl%20magazine%20by%20Theo%20van%20Doesburg.%20I%20tried%20to%20utilize%20the%20clever%20tricks%20from%20the%20magazine%2C%20but%20of%20course%20it%20still%20has%20it%27s%20weak%20spots%20and%20could%20never%20be%20anything%20but%20a%20display%20typeface.%20Most%20glyphs%20are%208x8%20blocks%2C%20simple%20as%20can%20be.%20One%20great%20thing%20about%20this%20font%20is%20that%20it%20never%20needs%20kerning.%20The%20tracking%20is%20set%20at%201.5%20blocks%2C%20feel%20free%20to%20clone%20and%20change%20if%20you%20don%27t%20find%20it%20a%20suitable%20default.
