AVANT-GARDE i10 (Regular) - Modular stencil 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

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, and which for the most part were removed in this version.
No true uppercase glyph set for this style (yet), and the only small difference between the Uc and Lc strings is the dot above (i j).

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"
This is a clone of STF_JS-SANS SEVERE (MULTILINE)STANDAARD PROFIELEN ― Digital revival/extrapolation of a logotype originally designed 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!

This is a clone of STF_JS-ETAGE-AANDUIDING 74 (INLINE 2)I updated and improved my previously published third recap in the series to attempt to re-create some of the works from late great dutch graphic designer "Jurriaan Schrofer".
As extra I added a period plus comma.
I hope you like it.
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.
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"!

This is a clone of STF_JS-CUTOUT 1985ELEVATED (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!

This is a clone of STF_JS-SANS SEVERE (MULTILINE)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 !

This is a clone of STF_JS-SANS SEVERE (MULTILINE)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.
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.
