AVANT-GARDE i10 (Tiles) - Tiled modular type system

═════════════════════════════════════

Another revival of the works originally designed by great dutch graphic designer Jurriaan Schrofer

The original source for this fontStruction was the cover of 1963 paperback: "i10 de internationale avant-garde tussen de twee wereldoorlogen"

by Lehning, Arthur & Jurriaan Schrofer

═════════════════════════════════════

I provided the (A-Z, Uc & Lc) basic latin character set, numerals, basic punctuations & symbols. Some of the symbols could still use slight improvements though. But the grid/brick system parameters did pose some tough limitations in regard to the allowed complexity.

The quality of the font preview shown above by FS's website is very poor and inacurate due to the combination of brick size filter (0.90-0.90), very small incisions and composite bricks. Best you'll check the sample image bellow in the comment section.

═════════════════════════════════════

-- Down here you'll find a link to the 'regular' style version for this family:

AVANT-GARDE i10 (Regular)

(The regular version doesn't come with a full uppercase set)

I hope you like it nonetheless,

ELEVATED (PRINT) - A 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!

ELEVATED (REWORK) - A 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 throughout 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!

Modified clone that provides a style variation to the previously published Jurriaan Schrofer font revival I did, called "STF_SATER (Isometric)".

The earlier version I did was in fact amongst my very first font designs ever, and at this stage I still had about zero real typographic background knowledge.

Due to this I simply went out copying the exact lettering 1:1 as was seen in the source that I used. Not realizing that the angle of projection applied to the lettering in the original would render my font next to useless.
So I ended up with cool looking isometric letterforms that were heavily handicapped in a full font.

This time I overhauled the original and got rid of its isometric nature and simply just making it a regular, fully upright style.

Now with this addition it finally becomes a truly functional font at last.

I hope you like it !

STANDAARD PROFIELEN - Digital revival of yet another design originally by

"Jurriaan Schrofer"

Jurriaan's original work is a logotype style lettering for a corporate identity brochure, that he designed for one of his clients, a Dutch timber trading company called: "Houthandel Rote - Westzaan N.V."

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

Schrofer's original work featured the plain black text   "standaard  profielen"       and was written in all lowercase letters. (source image bellow)

As far as I know this were the only characters he designed for this specific project.

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

It's a very simple grid based modular brick type lettering. Only two bricks were used to create each individual letterform. So they have a profound and inevitably dictating resonance to the visual appearance of the letterforms, a visual presence that I could not stray away from too far.

This stylistical design parameter made it somewhat extra tricky for the successfully faithful extrapolation of the remaining missing glyphs, turning it into a complete glyph-set and basic usable font. The source also remains pretty unclear on how Jurriaan would've designed characters with crossing strokes, such as Kk / Xx.

The original corner brick works well with just this small character set in the source, but the rectangular outside part of this brick fills a substantial surface area, (over 3/4th of a brick in total), resulting in bleeding-like contrast issues. So, having mostly undesirable effects in brick-congested areas or with intersecting strokes.

An additional beveled corner brick was added to address most of this issue.

All 'n all, for this reason I just captured its basic lowercase letterforms, numerals and only the bare essential punctuation marks for making it functional are included for now, no accents !

Cheers!

A more accurate thinner stroked version of a earlier recap I did of a letter design by dutch graphic designer "Jurriaan Schrofer"

A clone of a previous fontstruction I did, which was a recap of one of the alphabets originally desiged by Jurriaan Schrofer.

- For this update I decided to extend the latin table.

(the project remains under fontstruction, and I'll try to make it as complete as possible over time)

Also I'm gonna keep it open license so it remains cloneable!!

Feel free to use and abuse

For now enjoy!

I joined Fontstruct December last year.

My very first contribution back then was a tribute to the great Dutch graphical designer "Jurriaan Schrofer". And many more followed.

These past six months have passed very quickly, and, much to my surprise I can proudly pronounce that I have passed the point of 10,000 shared glyphs mark. Totally crazy, I'd never expected to have been putting out such a substantial volume of work.

Thank you all for the kind words and the support I so far reveived. I hope all of you have been enjoying my contributions so far, since there is much more to come! :)

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

As for the new font,

It's not so much of a celebrating work for a 10.000th glyph submission but it isn't bad either, so enjoy once more.

Another recap of the works by "Jurriaan Schrofer"!

A recap of the lettering by Dutch graphic designer "Jurriaan Schrofer" that he designed for the "gemeentereiniging" (translated: municipal cleaning services).

It's not very clear which eventually became the definitive alphabet that went into use, so I combined the two most important sketches into one typeface.

Enjoy!

Another recap of the lettering by great Dutch graphic designer

"Jurriaan Schrofer".

This time I tried to revisit the letters Schrofer originally designed for The "Beurs Van Berlage". A commodity market building located in the centre of Amsterdam. Later it was also digitalized and used to for the Dutch passport.

Style variation in the "STF_CONNECTED SQUARES v2" typeface family.

---------------------------------------------------------

A remastered version of "CONNECTED SQUARES". A previous recap I did from the work of late great dutch graphic designer "Jurriaan Schrofer".

This time I made a much more accurate version. I also added uppercase letters and some extra punctuations.

Enjoy!

Another recap in the ever growing series of attempts to re-create some of the works from late great dutch graphic designer "Jurriaan Schrofer"(15 april 1926 – 1 juli 1990).

This time I revisited the letters taken from one of his sketches called "Alphabet for cutout letters-c. 1985" and completed it with numerals and some additional punctuations!

The only real differences compared to the original sketch are heavier stroke weight and some letter parts/shapes that were drawn in the original were left out from the recap since they are of no use in a typeface!

As usual I completed the alphabet with numerals and some additional punctuations.

Lowercase characters only!!

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.

A letter decorated with a tilting dot pattern.

It's inspired by lettering seen on a brochure for Dutch theatre group "Sater" which was designed by "Jurriaan Schrofer".

I couldn't get it much more accurate that this, neither do I think it was wise desicion to make the main design isometric. Since now I'm tied to this projection. I might do a straight aligned version in the future.

Anyway, I think it is still a cool looking type

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.

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"
