ELEVATED (PRINT) - 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 diagonal shading lines included (as was also presented in the original sketch by Jurriaan Schrofer)

This rework has one major difference compared to all previous versions, once more it was constructed with a different size to grid ratio, one that corrects the size distribution, enabling the recreation of the original sketch with high accuracy.

The stroke weight in this "PRINT" version more accuratly mimics the original sketch and therefor is not optimized for digital display use.

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

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 outline style A-Z glyphs occupy the lowercase.

Enjoy!

By popular demand, I'm very proud to present you this recreation/digitization of Maxim Zhukov's Meander (an experimental modular type design from 1972, which was used in cover artworks for Stereolab's Dots and Loops album and Miss Modular EP).

Now supports Cyrillic characters and includes other custom-made glyphs, like numerals and punctuation marks.

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 re-work differs from Jurriaan's original sketch and my previous versions.

I changed the size to grid ratio, drastically reducing overall glyph size and increase stroke weight. The changes are optimizing the design, making it more suitable for digital display use. (more accurate 'print' version forthcoming).

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

Due to the inexperience 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 made it impossible to include the diagonal lines correctly into that old version of the font, with the diagonals also having equal seporation and white space througout the entire design.

So instead of making a clone of my previously published version "STF_ELEVATED" in order to include the shadow style variation into that existing family as a seporate FontStruction (like I did with most other style variations in my "LETTERS OP MAAT" series), for this one I decided to rebuild the entire typeface from scratch.

Putting all the style variations together into this single re-worked design.
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 outline style A-Z glyphs occupy the lowercase.

Enjoy!

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

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.

Modernism alphabet

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!

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!
