STF_DAMAGE INC. - Tech inspired condensed geometric sans.
=============================================
It’s a modern rigid square-based geometric sans that was designed to work especially well in body style text. It was carefuly crafted to be a spacious but continuous fill.
The squarish geometry provides a slight mechanical looking, yet clean and very open basic design.
Each glyph was further constructed with more than enough negative space (white space), making sure any text will look brightly lit and feels well ventilated at all times. This is especially welcoming when having to read large chunks of body text.
The uppercase character set was constructed somewhat of a fraction disproportionally taller compared to the more naturaly proportioned lowercase character set. This to make any line of text that is set in 'all-caps' to bring the impression of being condensed.
This effect is then exaggerated even more by slightly pulling back on the extent of any ascenders and descenders on the lowercase characters.
=============================================
I am pretty pleased with the result, it's overall look is fairly consistent and legible. The condensed effect allows squeezing a good decent amount of horizontal text per one single line of type.
The only thing kind of dissapointing to me was it's smallest possible point size in digital display use. It doesn't do well bellow 20px (14.5pt)in digital format.
20px is the absolute smallest size for everything to look crisp and alligned with the pixel raster, going bellow this point and the font starts to become blurry and distorted.
I wonder what any of u type wizards think so far...
Cheers
A piece of constructivism inspired by Dutch artistic movement "De Stijl".
This is a clone of STF_FABRICON_(OUTLINE)A tribute to Belgian modernist artist "Jozef Peeters" (Antwerp, 1895 - 1960).
He is probably best known for contributions to legendary Belgian avant garde magazines "Het Overzicht" and "DeDriekhoek".
The alphabet I made is based on the letters seen on the folder art for his 1921 linocut portofolio.
(I made use of a couple of lower case letters to make slight variations similar as seen on the original artwork but most lower case are simply copied from the upper case letters.)
