This is another one of my modular alphabets from my college days (c. 1975). This one uses a larger grid space than the Boxy 1 and introduces a curved element that can be used on the NE or SW corners. Otherwise it follows similar rules.

The ‘Sans Serious’ Series is a group of tribute typefaces meant to honor Dutch designer and typographer Jurriaan Schrofer.
Along with Wim Crouwel and Josef Albers, Jurrian Schrofer (1926 - 1990) was among the Bauhaus pioneers of grid-based modular typography and design.
Schrofer's work experimented with type, light, and color and focused on mathematical shapes and pattern.
“Schrofer made several attempts to create complete typefaces - one of which was wittily calledSans serious- but this was never his goal. ‘Is it necessary’, he wrote, ‘to make complete alphabets with upper- and lowercase, figures, diacritics and seriously adorned with a name, when the aim is merely a formal investigation into basic recipes’ Schrofer's domain was never the design of typographic alphabets, to be used by other designers, but always the creation of letterforms ‘made to measure’ as part of his own designs of - mainly - book covers and postage stamps. He created a rectangular alphabet as the basic element of his ever-changing covers - each based of the same grid but colored differently - for a series of scientific books, ‘Les textes sociologiques’ from Mouton Publishers. He made sophisticated pixel-based letters, all drawn by hand, and experimented with photographic screens as a means of distinguishing simplified letterforms from the background. He created logotypes built from custom-made letterforms, based on rectangular grids.”
“In his booklet ‘Letters op maat’ (‘Type made to measure’, 1987), Schrofer presented many of his experimental alphabets from the 1960s and '70s. The booklet was part of a series of goodwill publications edited by Wim Crouwel for Lecturis Printers, Eindhoven.”

I have always loved Grafitti and although impossible to capture the spontaneity of spraying the underpass or my neighbour's wall, here is a possible alternative!

I took this epic digger while mountain biking in the rain last Friday. No real damage besides a slightly bruised shoulder. But while kneeling on the ground and collecting my wits, I noticed the impression left by my tire treads in the mud and thought there might be a Fontruction idea in there. Hydroplane is the product of that and represents a desire to stay upright, moving forward, with two wheels firmly gripping the terra.

A faithful recreation of the DOS / IBM PC System Font. Monospaced with very short descenders and thick font weight for better readability on low fidelity CRT displays. Makes me want to optimize AUTOEXEC.BATs all over again.
Including original "More Latin" characters and custom made "Extended Latin A" characters for good international compatibility.

This is based on a type design I was playing around with when I was in college in 1975. The original was drawn on graph paper. It had certain rules of construction, such as not using angles that tilted the other direction, making some kinds of forms practically impossible.

My version of a Star Trek logo font. I only used Horizon as a guide when I couldn't find a good solution to a letter (e.g. Q).
Looks good at pixel size.

This is my first fontsruction since studying at Uwe. I started looking at decay before looking into wood decay and the fungi and mushrooms that grow from it. Here I have make each letter resemble a mushroom.

An experimental 'scribble' font. Just caps so far. I know it's butt-ugly....That was the goal though :)
Please let me know what you think.

I've worked on this for quite a while. I could only finish it now with the help of composit bricks.
