Experimental cyberpunk robot mosaic thing.

It gives me a strong "system font" feeling and seems like something that might be included with the OS of some futuristic tech deck. If the Fairlight Excalibur from Shadowrun Returns had its own font, this could be it!

Original size: 21pt (use multiples of this size for pixel perfection)

A contemporary minimalist design.

A typeface that got struck by synchrotron radiation.

A chimera made from art deco, barcode, and circuitry elements. It only employs angles where they are needed to differentiate glyphs.

When I look at this, I think "robot skeleton".

A geometric stencil design

A single line is bent on itself to trace letterforms in 5x5.

This is part of my "IVO" series (Inline Versus Outline) wherein inline and outline elements are split, merged, and altered to make them ambiguous and to allow new styles to emerge. They may look like maze fonts, but they have a different design methodology altogether.

Reticular octagonal inline vs. outline thing. Made using an additive method in which no template bricks were removed - though many were replaced with square bricks. The original form is on ",".

A 7x7 outline design which is made to form solid-looking masses from the glyphs while still allowing the outer perimeters of words to take on some unique shapes.

Original size: 5.25pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

Typeface design inspired by brand logo of British consumer electronics company "Sinclair Research Ltd."

The entire typeface was build exclusively around the already existing eight letters that make up their logo.

I have no clue on wether a complete typeface ever was made, or that someone has tried this before. So far I have never stumbled upon one yet , not even in their official product ads and brochures.

Enjoy!

Experimental 49-segment display.

In making and studying other segmented displays, I noticed they tended to have strong-looking right angled lines but weak-looking diagonals. This is my attempt to make a design where both styles of lines look more appealing and join together more solidly.

Another 5x5 pixel design. This one splits one line or intersection per letter for most letters, leading to a tech/sci-fi look.

Only the comma is allowed to go below the line; all other glyphs fit onto the 5x5 grid. Because this font is quantized to the grid, diacritic accents won't be possible. Feel free to move the comma above the line to suit your global matrix.

Based on the lettering by Dutch graphic designer "Jurriaan Schrofer".

Letters based on the brand logo of CalpamSMD Olie B.V. a Dutch oil company.

Enjoy!

Letters based on the brand logo of CalpamSMD Olie B.V. a Dutch oil company. Original logo type was designed by Benno Wissing.

Enjoy!

I made a blocky, industrial sort of style, then added art deco-style line width variation. Then, a couple of tech lines here, a couple of details there, and SHAZAM! We get these 1950's-era raygun-toting space race zippity zap letters. It's a font Marvin the Martian might use...

DISTANT SHORE is a decorated bold geometric display typeface.

The lettershapes have that typical modern and digital style. Whereas the stripes in the bottom give it that 80's/90's retro feeling!

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

A little constructivism stencil typeface.

Modernism alphabet

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.

A piece of constructivism inspired by Dutch artistic movement "De Stijl".

Continuing on the theme of choosing a regular shape and making an alphabet out of it.

Looks best at smaller sizes (<24pt) and with antialiasing/ClearType turned on.

Can this be done better with filters? Probably, but I still have to learn those... :D
