JS-PTT 1975 (INLINE) ― Geometric modular typeface system
═══════════════════════════════════
Another font addition to the ever evolving and growing collection of revivals and inspired works called LETTERS OP MAAT, a project celebrating and trying to recreate the typographic contributions originally designed by Dutch graphic designer Jurriaan Schrofer. This time I did sort of a revision / recap based on Schrofer's 1975 trichromatic sketches he did for the PTT (TD) the technical department of the Dutch State Company of Post, Telegraphy and Telephony (PTT)  that featured a style variation to one of his alphabet systems.

JS-PTT 1975 is a typeface family of three font styles called (SOLID), (INLINE)and (OUTLINE), that seemlessly overlap for combined multi-layer capabilities. Allowing easy multicolor replication similar to the original sketches and more, but also to provide three different isolated forms for individual use as separate fonts.

Now, without diving too deep into the man's biographic profile I do want to point out the following; ―Despite the unprecedented amount his typographic brilliance has contributed, he remains relatively unknown, but certainly no stranger among real typ-o-philes. Schrofer was light years ahead of its time. The level of crafmenship he put into his work was often overshadowed by his mind-blowing experimental, at times even bizarre and psychedelic typographic approach on letterforms, and can easily make one not truly realize the amount of expertise and skill often on display. Therefor he probably remains best known for his extravagant endeavours in book design.

Between 1973-1979 Schrofer worked on a assignement for the Dutch client called PTT (TD) this was during his time with Total Design. For the PTT (TD) Schrofer worked on a big multi project assignement he himself cataloged "Bewegwijzering Girokantoren". This essentially was the design of multiple visual identities for floorplans of 3 office buildings owned by the company. The project gave birth to several new style variation for several of his alphabet systems, one of those was this variation that introduced the rounded corners to some of the letterforms.

This particular recap was based on a alphabet system seen in numerous of sketches Schrofer designed in 1975 for the Dutch ministry of welfare, public health and culture (WVC) department for aesthetic design with the PTT. Part of the technical service at the PTT, responsible for the visual logistics of the company. The PTT, at the time a state-owned multi-utility company providing countless services. All the letters originally provided in Schrofer's sketches are included, I designed all the missing letters plus a couple of alernatives following the original's design parameters. In addition to that I designed and included numerals and some symbols and punctuation marks as well.

During my studies of Schrofer's work I noticed that various alphabet systems reappeared in many of his works. Further research showed that throughout his carreer he seemed to have developed and pre-fabricated multiple alphabet systems, variations and concepts that he constantly reused, refurbished, and recycled over the course of his carreer. Therefor it can be difficult to pin point the exact origins for some of his lettering concepts. Which is something I learned along the way and did not really anticipated for when I innitially started this LETTERS OP MAAT project, so some of my ealier fonts for this project haven't exactly all been properly researched.

For example the lettering concept seen in one of his designs for the PTT (TD) had already appeared two years prior of this PTT materials, when it was used in the 1973 brochure called Grafiek Per Postbode for Galerie 33. This brochure shows the same alphabet system that he later reuses for one of the PTT office builing floorplan designs. The brochure features an outlined variation of that same alphabet system for the text Heading, and a rounded mono-linear variation to this same alphabet system for the Subheading. This mono-linear variation itself had been used in the work for The Beurs van Berlage (Foundation) as well [IMAGE], the Beurs Van Berlage is a Dutch commodity market building located in the centre of Amsterdam. The alphabet system later then got digitalized for implimentation in the Dutch passport, and was acompanied by several additional derivative styles to this mono-linear version of (you can probably guess it) that same alphabet system, including a 5x7 Dot Matrix. Schrofer's design concept for the Dutch passport eventually never got used. And there were several other reapearances of the alphabet with several clients throughout his carreer.

I know it once again is a lot of info to digest, but I want to portray a proper image of the whole story that involves this project as well as it's font contribtions, so I can't help myself here, lol. But I'm pretty certain there are people out there that can appreciate this informative background, so I hope y'all didn't mind it too much.

Republished with some accents, diacritics, etc. Likely still in progress (as if anything is ever really finished.)  Cheers,

Inspired by Bastard by Barnbrook Fonts and Minotur by cablecomputer

a sort of wild west/art deco font

art de(cow)boy?

roaring 1820's?

Some alternates in lower case.

Intertwined (impossible) letter O as a starting point for a yet another experiment. Emes is a word used to express negation in my language.

A font where every letter is cut out from a square.

Ligatures "ff" and "tt" are at the "fi" and "fl" glyphs.

Two-in-one font, uppercase scratched and lowercase clean. Looking forward to the fourth John Wick movie next May. I've added some dingbats for your fun. Enjoy, please.

110521. Opening day of the Marvel Eternals movie! Loving Phase 4 in the Marvel Cinematic Univese. This pentaline display typeface inspired by the movie logo (Caesar Font) has some limited kerning, with sparkly caps. 

Hello again! Here's someting I started dabbling with years ago, but never finished or published. Fontstruct bricks and functions have evolved since then so I decided to give the ‘font’ a facelift and make it a little more complete (still no plethora of glyphs but I'm ok with it for now). Circus wild west meets casino and slot machines. Gambling, gunpowder, acrobats and jesters. Wash down with tequila.

Extra squared-blocky-rocky western font. Caps only. Waiter, could I have a sarsaparilla drink, please? Based on some glyphs from "Pionner" (1969) by Francisco Gonzales.

yes

Another handwriting script style font. Some suggestions for a better results: 1) You can put an additional bar (placed in the "<" and ">" glyphs) before typing a lowercase word. 2) And it's also convenient to add an extra space before writing a word with a capital letter to improve the separation between they. But you're the boss with it. Enjoy.

Added Cyrillic

An old updated idea: overlapping glyphs. Now with the new layers, here you are. See also zupra 3D eYe/FS.

An old updated idea: overlapping glyphs, and 3D simulation with colours. See also zupra eYe/FS.

Lowercase "o" started it all.

An experiment based on: "What if an 8 color wheel was a letter O?" A work in progress just to bring up the potential of the new update. These colors are just rainbow colors and were not inspired from LGBT flag.

Another "little" font: only 1,5 bricks x-height (2 bricks for the upercase) with 2:2 filters. Inspired -just only the rounded aspect- by the great Frankfurter font, whose original (heavy) weight was designed by Bob Newman in the Letraset studio and issued in 1970. In 1978, Medium (the only style to include a lowercase, by Alan Meeks) and Highlight (by Nick Beishaw) were added. Inline (by Studio) followed in 1981. Our well know FSr escaphandro build Choripán, an excellent actualization of the classic font. BTW, my accents and other few glyphs must be improved. WIP.

This font came as a fluke off of another font I've been working on since 19 July 2018. 

H was the hardest to get right.

& is just a flipped g.
