Working under the theme of 'Rebirth', I have focused my first font on the idea of post-war architecture, or otherwise commonly known as modernist/brutalist architecture. Buildings constructed following the Second World War were built using new technologies of construction. These types of designs were known for their use of modern materials such as concrete and steel as well as their interesting geometrical forms. I was heavily influenced by the architecture featured in Owen Hopkins' book 'Lost Futures' which looks at the disappearing architecture of post-war Britain and how changing external contexts played a role in the subsequent destruction of these buildings. 

ELEVATED (REWORK) - A large 3D outline display typeface design with shadow effect.

It's inspired by the lettering from a sketch by great Dutch graphical designer "Jurriaan Schrofer".

===========================================================

This is the long overdue shadow style variant which was requested by Goatmeal and elmoyenique. It has the diagonal shading lines included (as was also presented in the original sketch by Jurriaan Schrofer)

Due to the inexperience that I had in my early days of FontStructing and the lack of proper knowledge about raster scaling, I faced some serious issues regarding the correct size distribution. This had me unable to include the diagonal lines properly into that pre-existing font with them having equal seporation and white space througout the entire design.

So instead of making a clone of my previously published version "STF_ELEVATED" and include the shadow font variant into that family as a seporate FontStruction (like I did with most other style variations back then), I decided to rebuild the full font. Putting it all together into this single re-worked font version.

This re-work has some important differences compared to the previous version. The first one, another size to grid ratio which optimizes the size distribution for digital display as well as drastically reduces the overall glyph size (more accurate version forthcoming). Some extra characters were added to the set, making it a slightly more functional basic font.

The shadow effect is the default style for this font, this also includes all numerals, punctuation marks and other symbols that make up the full font, these occupy the uppercase. The bare outline style A-Z glyphs occupy the lowercase.

Constructivism stencil typeface design

Legible modernist typeface with a simplistic bold but clean geometric design that was influenced by Bauhaus typography.

Recap of Wim Crouwel's famous typeface design for Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum "Vormgevers" Poster that was published in 1968.

Maybe I will include the full uppercase letters soon as well.

for now,

A remastered version of the classic lettering by "Theo Van Doesburg" for avant garde architectural magazine "De Stijl".

So, rather than a replica of the original, this is a 2018 view of the classic letters. It still follows the global contour of the original letters but instead of being stenciled it features solid glyphs.

Attempt to recap the classic lettering by "Theo Van Doesburg" for avant garde architectural magazine "De Stijl".

Apart from some small variations I made between a couple of upper and lower case characters the two are mostly copies!

MARTIAN AMBASSADOR - a quirky alien looking typeface.

What first started as a tryout to make entire glyphs within a single composite brick quickly got out of hand. lol

Each glyph was designed on a 2x2 grid by way of composite stacking. Lowercase and superscript characters are single brick composites.

Viewed in the fontstruct preview many glyphs do not show clean edges because I heavily made use of composite bricks and stacks on a small grid. However, these irregularities are not really present in the actual TrueType Font.

Style 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.

FABRICON-CAST is another style variation within the FABRICON family.

This style was inspired by metal casting and apart from some minor varriations I made to the punctuations it's very similar to the other styles in this family. Except that unlike the other styles this one will not combine seemlessly with the rest.

Inspired by the lettering found on a vintage sheet music cover art for "La Java bousculée" released in 1924. Cover illustration and letters are designed by "Robert Laroche".

I attempted to complete the alphabet and numeral plus some punctuations!

Simple constructivism inspired typeface.

Sort of a semi recap of the lettering found on the second issue of Polish avant garde architectural magazine called "PRAESENS".

It got published throughout the first part of the previous century and was similar to other magz from that era such as: DeStijl, Wendingen & Het Overzicht.

It's not super accurate but still a fairly recognizable and cool looking type.  I already made a pro version of this lettering in the past with FontLab Studio, which closely capturing the exact original design.

It's been a while since I last revisited the works of "Jurriaan Schrofer".

So here is another one by the late great Dutch graphical designer.

Inspired by the many different avant garde modernist expressionism movements of early nineteenth century Europe. Amsterdam-School in particular.

And another mazed piece!

Another Maze design!
