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 is the long overdue shadow style variant which was requested by Goatmeal and elmoyenique. It has the diagonal shading lines included (as was also presented in the original sketch by Jurriaan Schrofer)

Due to the inexperience that 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 had me unable to include the diagonal lines properly into that pre-existing font with them having equal seporation and white space througout the entire design.

So instead of making a clone of my previously published version "STF_ELEVATED" and include the shadow font variant into that family as a seporate FontStruction (like I did with most other style variations back then), I decided to rebuild the full font. Putting it all together into this single re-worked font version.

This re-work has some important differences compared to the previous version. The first one, another size to grid ratio which optimizes the size distribution for digital display as well as drastically reduces the overall glyph size (more accurate version forthcoming). 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 bare 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 !

Sort of revival of the lettering that Jurriaan Schrofer designed back in 1957 for Dutch timber trader called "houthandel Rote".

The original sketch by Schrofer featured the text "standaard profielen"  in all lowercase letters (I will post a image bellow)

Now, as far as I know this was all the characters Jurriaan designed for this project. The designs parameters in Jurriaans sketch doesn't allow a lot of freedom and remains unclear on how a character with crossing strokes like k or x wouldve been done.  So its kind of a tricky one to extend easily, therefor I just captured its basic letterforms for now.

Cheers

It been a while since I did one of Schrofer

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!

Cheers

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.

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"

My second recap of a alphabet by the late great dutch graphic designer "Jurriaan Schrofer". 

In addition I added upper case and numerous punctuations.

I hope you like it.

This is a optimized re-entry of my very first fontstruct entry. Which was in loving memory of "Jurriaan Schrofer". it was a attempt to re-create a alphabet from late great dutch graphic designer "Jurriaan Schrofer". Unfortunatly the first entry that I published had some imperfections that I have removed in this version.
