The ‘Sans Serious’ Series is a group of tribute typefaces meant to honor Dutch designer and typographer Jurriaan Schrofer.
Along with Wim Crouwel and Josef Albers, Jurrian Schrofer (1926 - 1990) was among the Bauhaus pioneers of grid-based modular typography and design.
Schrofer's work experimented with type, light, and color and focused on mathematical shapes and pattern.
“Schrofer made several attempts to create complete typefaces - one of which was wittily calledSans serious- but this was never his goal. ‘Is it necessary’, he wrote, ‘to make complete alphabets with upper- and lowercase, figures, diacritics and seriously adorned with a name, when the aim is merely a formal investigation into basic recipes’ Schrofer's domain was never the design of typographic alphabets, to be used by other designers, but always the creation of letterforms ‘made to measure’ as part of his own designs of - mainly - book covers and postage stamps. He created a rectangular alphabet as the basic element of his ever-changing covers - each based of the same grid but colored differently - for a series of scientific books, ‘Les textes sociologiques’ from Mouton Publishers. He made sophisticated pixel-based letters, all drawn by hand, and experimented with photographic screens as a means of distinguishing simplified letterforms from the background. He created logotypes built from custom-made letterforms, based on rectangular grids.”
“In his booklet ‘Letters op maat’ (‘Type made to measure’, 1987), Schrofer presented many of his experimental alphabets from the 1960s and '70s. The booklet was part of a series of goodwill publications edited by Wim Crouwel for Lecturis Printers, Eindhoven.”

A play on brickstacking, 'Brutal' is an experiment in creating a one brick fontstruction for multilayered screen printing. To use this font, you simply need to layer the uppercase alphabet on top of (or underneath) the lowercase alphabet (see below for a sample).
Obviously, it doesn't look like much in the Fontstruct preview.
The inspiration for this typeface came about when I was putting together this Flickr gallery of modular multi-colored lettering.
The first 25 downloads are all mine. It was a hard one to test.

Prog is a condensed, geometric, modular display typeface with a contemporary sci-fi aesthetic. The design draws from a multitude of influences. Specifically I was inspired by: mathematics, Japanese space-rock, the movie MOON (directed by David Bowie's kid), and the Funk King's wonderful molecular work here on FontStruct.
The principle building block for the design is an obtuse angle segment that's cloned, reflected, and rotated to create an entire letter. Mapping the technique to the whole typeface was a challenge and there are some compromises (see D and U). As is frequently the case with these strict modular exercises the T is the stand out ugly duckling.This is a clone

This is a Fontstruct adaptation of an earlier work. The main point was to construct a font using exclusively one shape: the triangle. It was like creating a pixel font for a screen with triangular pixels. Of course, the original has equilateral triangles, and looks slightly different. It is also in the same vein as Legolas Codex. This is a clone of Legolas Stencil

After seen some beautiful examples of isometric type construction here on Fontstruct, I couldn't resist the temptation of doing one myself... This is still in progress, Any suggestions for the missing letters (D,V, v,x..)are welcome. =)

Chiara is a decorative font evolved from Chiara regular, with lots of embellishments in ascenders and descenders, Higher caps, chopped-of letters and so on. Thanks to the wonderful/incredible/amazing set of bricks you can find here
(http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/all_composites_saved_in_my_bricks) I could develop a hord of curvy stuff that was incredibly useful.
(djnippa, I love you. Really. XD)
This is still a work in progress, I'm redefinig some characters, and I want to add a new set of alternates to make this more versatile. Feel free to comment whatever you like/dislike.

Instead of strokes through letters (such as in f, t) there's an inward tick. The name is a combination of the words "block" and "tick" or maybe "flick".

Hardcore modular FS in 25 minutes. It's late, so i'll fill the description box tomorrow. I will make component of any glyph to make the flash preview more readable. I believe that even 1x1 font made out of 2x2 componets is still 2x2, so converting don't make any further differences.
Damn. Almost stencil. Almost because of "0" and "&"... Is this any achievement? To make font more universal? 2x2 and monospacing - isn't it enough :D?
NE - there's a challenge for you! Doesn't these characters look so great to be used in an artwork?

Vienna Cafe is a personal interpretation of Art Nouveau stilyzed typefaces and curved, organic Lettering into modular type. I'm still working on this, so feel free to comment how's it going and/or what would you change. And if you've done something similar, or have any tipographic reference, let me know!!! =)
