Another recap in a series to attempt to re-create some of the works from late great dutch graphic designer "Jurriaan Schrofer" (15 april 1926 – 1 juli 1990).
This time I revisited the lettering for "BREDERO BOUW BEDRIJF" and completed the entire alphabet and some additional punctuations.
I hope you like it.
JS-SANS MARX (CONDENSED BOLD) — Geometric Sans-Serif
═══════════════════════════════════
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 a revival based on a sans-serif lettering concept Schrofer did in 1968 during his time with Mouton & Co. The lettering concept was seen on his book cover design for the book "Marx and contemporary scientific thoughts; Marx et la pensée scientifique contemporaine". The book cover only shows 4 lowercase letters, spelling the word "marx". But these pretty much have all the important features to extrapolate the remainder of the alphabet from. At the same time having just 4 letters allows for a much more loosely approach towards inventing the other letter solutions.
I decided to create a typeface family of multiple styles each with different weight properties (Light, Medium & Bold in both Compressed and Condensed form). The medium weight is what was actually seen on the original book cover.
I hope you like it,

Another tribute to the great Dutch graphical designer/pioneer "Jurriaan Schrofer".
This time I didn't do a straight foreward recap of a specific work from the great man, but rather had myself inspired by a number of his sketches and combined those ideas all into this type! (Nonetheless ofcourse still heavily inspired by..)
Here are a few of the original works I drawn inspiration from:
"A.S.C. COMMUNICATIONS, SEMINOTICS, SIGNAGE SYSTEM PTT 1975 (Dutch Post Office) , BEURS VAN BERLAGE, UNREADABLE ALPHABET"

This is a optimized re-entry of my very first fontstruct entry. Which was in loving memory of "Jurriaan Schrofer". it was a attempt to re-create a alphabet from late great dutch graphic designer "Jurriaan Schrofer".
Unfortunatly the first entry that I published had some imperfections, and which for the most part were removed in this version.
No true uppercase glyph set for this style (yet), and the only small difference between the Uc and Lc strings is the dot above (i j).

I updated and improved my previously published third recap in the series to attempt to re-create some of the works from late great dutch graphic designer "Jurriaan Schrofer".
As extra I added a period plus comma.
I hope you like it.
I joined Fontstruct December last year.
My very first contribution back then was a tribute to the great Dutch graphical designer "Jurriaan Schrofer". And many more followed.
These past six months have passed very quickly, and, much to my surprise I can proudly pronounce that I have passed the point of 10,000 shared glyphs mark. Totally crazy, I'd never expected to have been putting out such a substantial volume of work.
Thank you all for the kind words and the support I so far reveived. I hope all of you have been enjoying my contributions so far, since there is much more to come! :)
=======================
As for the new font,
It's not so much of a celebrating work for a 10.000th glyph submission but it isn't bad either, so enjoy once more.

I provided the (A-Z, Uc & Lc) basic latin character set, numerals, basic punctuations & symbols. Some of the symbols could still use slight improvements though. But the grid/brick system parameters did pose some tough limitations in regard to the allowed complexity.
The quality of the font preview shown above by FS's website is very poor and inacurate due to the combination of brick size filter (0.90-0.90), very small incisions and composite bricks. Best you'll check the sample image bellow in the comment section.

JS-SANS GRAFISCH (Regular) ― Geometric Sans-Serif
═══════════════════════════════════
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 a revival based on a sans-serif lettering concept Schrofer did in 1968. The lettering was used in several of his later smaller projects, mainly for some design work regarding the Schrofer family. One of such was the wedding card he designed for Olga Schrofer & Djien Injo. Schrofer had never designed a complete alphabet for this specific lettering, and all the gathered resource material I was able to collect ( 1, 2, 3, 4 ) still yielded a combined total of 19 different lowercase letters "acdefghijlnoprstuwy"
Anyway, by the looks of it we can asume that this derived from or eventually had led to another one of his alphabet systems that came around that same time. This was one of his alphabet systems that he developed into a complete typeface. First appearance back in 1968 on Olga & Djien's wedding card. Later a slight modified variation of that same sans-serif system was used for the Dutch 1969 postage stamp design that celebrated the 50th anniversary of the 1919 International Workers' Organization. Several more instances would later follow, But the best and most complete preview of this sans-serif concept is probably seen on the red / white alphabet sample composition he did. Here a semi-bold version was completed to a full lowercase (a-z) alphabet set and small caps figures (no symbols or punctuation marks)
This particular alphabet system eventually saw extensive use, and can be seen in many of his work, ranging from book designs and brochures all the way to postage-stamps. So there is no shortage of resource material on this alphabet system.
Over the course of its existence the alphabet was constantly evolving, and Schrofer kept expanding the system with additional new weights and slight variations. But during his time with Mouton & Co. the concept basics for this sans system became one of his lettering workhorses, and saw widespread application.
Schrofer made several attempts to create complete typefaces, 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 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. In addition, the lack of any naming for its alphabet systems and lettering-concepts can sometimes make it difficult to tell things apart, or instead group them into several larger font families, consisting of multiple weights and -or slightly modified style variations.
This specific proportion that I used for the revival of the alphabet system only appeared in three small occasions of Schrofer's autonomous works.
It basically is the same simple, clean, but solid looking geometric sans-serif system he often reused. It is also the same general concept for the alphabet system STF_SANS ROUNDED was based upon, but with some minor changes.
This variation comes in a smaller weight and less condensed form, more open-spaced letters that almost feel expanded. The medium contrast on its vertical axis remains. In addition the overall character set was greatly extended as well as several other minute changes that were incorporated.

This is a cloneStyle variation in the SEMIOTICA type family.
A type family based on the lettering seen on the book cover of "Semiotica - Journal of the International Association for Semiotic Studies" published by Mouton. The letters and book cover were originally designed by "Jurriaan Schrofer".
As usual I completed the alphabet plus numerics and added numerous punctuations.
