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"

Another one from the great Dutch graphical designer revisited.

Recap from one of the alphabets originally designed by Dutch graphical designer "Jurriaan Schrofer".

The Letters were Originally designed for the Giro office building floor plan!

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

This is a style variation in the "ETAGE AANDUIDING" typeface family.

Enjoy!

Stencil design with very small triangular serifs that don't follow a set rule regarding their place and direction.

Reverse in the  visual context can mean many things. I decided to create letters and mirrored them, attaching them to a spine.The letters looked like filigree jewellery  pendants.

I know that the I , T and W don't follow the design rule; I tried to align them on a spine but the result was unsatisfactory.

I had thought of making this my 2nd competition entry but while it's attractive it lacks something.

It shows all horizontal and vertical lines that weren't placed in its parent font "n8 Solstice noir". But the font itself still uses white cut-outs in a a black rectangle.

Somehow this presentation reminds me of a lino print, stencil, photographic negative.

The original font didn't disturb me, this design however kept nagging me, wanting to get out as a positive.  I couldn't resist this demand and turned its clone into the usual black-on-white presentation 'Solstice Day'

The font Lineae is only of lines and doesn't look round.
