JS-SANS MARX (CONDENSED BOLD) — Geometric Sans-Serif
═══════════════════════════════════
Another font addition to the ever evolving and growing collection of revivals and inspired works called LETTERS OP MAAT, a project celebrating and trying to recreate the typographic contributions originally designed by Dutch graphic designer Jurriaan Schrofer.
This time I did a revival based on a sans-serif lettering concept Schrofer did in 1968 during his time with Mouton & Co. The lettering concept was seen on his book cover design for the book "Marx and contemporary scientific thoughts; Marx et la pensée scientifique contemporaine". The book cover only shows 4 lowercase letters, spelling the word "marx". But these pretty much have all the important features to extrapolate the remainder of the alphabet from. At the same time having just 4 letters allows for a much more loosely approach towards inventing the other letter solutions.
I decided to create a typeface family of multiple styles each with different weight properties (Light, Medium & Bold in both Compressed and Condensed form). The medium weight is what was actually seen on the original book cover.
I hope you like it,

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.
======================================
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.

This is a clone of STF_JS-SEMIOTICA (INCISED)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

The second recap of "Onleesbaar Alfabet"
Which translates to "Unreadable Alphabet",
originally designed by Dutch graphical designer "Jurriaan Schrofer".
This one features outlined glyphs.

---------------------------------------------------------
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.

This is a cloneSTANDAARD 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-SANS MARX (CONDENSED BOLD)Another recap in a series to attempt 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 lettering for "BREDERO BOUW BEDRIJF" and completed the entire alphabet and some additional punctuations.

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).

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!!
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!
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!

This is a cloneI 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.
