STF_VAQUUM 67 - A MICR style font

The font is loosely based on a screenprint named "Vacuums"
taken from a 1967 portofolio work by Eduardo Paolozzi.

It's not an accurate 1:1 copy, instead I tried to make it slightly more proportional version inspired by the original work. The font is done in all caps with some glyph alternatives in the lowercase string in order to slightly more accurate mimic the original print text.
===========================================
The original print was most likely based on the "Westminster" typeface
that was designed by Leo Maggs and was inspired by the MICR(magnetic ink character recognition) system used on bank cheques.
Several other imitations of Westminster are out there, with most well known probably being the "Data 70" typeface.

Cheers

This is based on the Data Pro font, and the original font was not a valid font.

A display typeface that revisits the classic Randstad alphabet originally designed by Ben Bos in 1969 working at Total Design. Some changes have been made to a number of characters and letter spacing in order to improve the overal ballance and legibility. In other words, more a semi-recap rahter than a exact replica.

Recap of a retro computer type lettering that appeared throughout the 70's and 80's as the word "data" on various brochures, envelopes and memo's by Dutch multinational human resource consulting firm Randstad. Most of which I guess were designed by Ben Bos.

A skinny, uniform, and asymmetrical typeface. Could work well with signage and logos for the more technological projects. Seems condensed in kerning, but the letters hold a large amount of empty space.

Alternate version of connect the bots, reminiscent of dot matrix printers back in the day...

---connect the bots---

Inspired by electronic circuitry, combined with a retro flavour in the structure of the letterforms, this display font is well suited to any computer / electronics or technology related application.

The word ‘systematic’ was taken as a starting point for development, and led me to draw upon a personal interest in the inner workings of electronics. The ordered chaos of all the connections running hither and thither is extraordinarily beautiful.

This font was created and used as a cookie cutter in the process of developing the connect the bots typeface.

An expansion of the classic MICR E13B code to a full alphabet and symbols. I tried to make each glyph irregular and unique, just like the original number forms.

Something as simple and boring as a monospaced, octagonal, sans serif font. But it has great unicode support!

As part of a project for my graphic design course at UWE, our brief was to create a typeface based on a theme. I chose vibration as my theme as I explored my theme I was drawn to line graphs which help record the frequency of sounds. I wanted my typeface to resemble this like it was on an ECG monitor. I also looked at John Skelton’s pinpression typeface which truly inspired my font, having continuous lines connecting all of the characters was very important and finding his work showed me that it was possible. This is my first attempt at creating a typeface and there are still alterations that need to be done.

Inspired by the "M" and horizontal "V" behind Yori in the 1982 movie "TRON" (0:58:08-0:58:54); shares similarities to Ray Larabie's "Para Aminobenzoic" font with just a hint of "Otto Mason SH"

Another retro space/data font. It is a remix of "Straker" by Rian Hughes. The Fontstruct brick concept reduces some of the creamy roundness usually associated to these 60s–70s letter shapes, but that doesn´t have to be bad.

This is a font I made for several of my videogame projects. If used in any big projects, let me know (optional), I always enjoy seeing what my font has become in projects. Feel free to use it as you wish but do not take credit for it.
