An earlier (1926) constructed alphabet from Jan Tschichold, based on a somewhat finer grid and a slightly less condensed uppercase and a bolder appearance overall.

With a caps-height of 17, reproducing some diagonals proved quickly to be between nightmarish and impossible, thus the fidelity is a bit less exact than my previous recreation.

For a digitisation that encompass both designs and offers proper alternates, you can look at Peter Wiegel’s Tschichold.

My version of Jan Tschichold’s “Schmale Grotesk - Leicht und schnell konstruierbare Schrift” (narrow grotesque - font that is easy and quick to construct), from 1930.

Turns out it isn’t always “quick and easy” to translate a pen and straightedge approach to constructed letters into Fontstruct’s prefabricated bricks setting.

In expanding the glyph coverage, I tried to remain true to the spirit of the original self imposed limitations, both in terms of grid (e.g. the cramped space for the uppercase diacritics), and of tools (see the solution for  superscripts et similia).

The font covers all of Google Fonts Basic set and, given the c-caron present in the source, all of Czech orthography. I may try to add other Eastern European languages in the future.

There are many different takes on the same source (including for the visual identity of a museum), you can look at Serious, here on Fontstruct, or at Iwan Reschniev, for an extensive expansion in weights and typographic features.

As always, comments and suggestions are welcome :-)

FABRIKATA —1920s Art-Deco & Dada Constructivism inspired style

═══════════════════════════════════

This is latest in experiments into constructing high quality customized curved shapes in small grid fonts.

For FABRIKATA I intended to break away from the grid completely, and create complex geometric letterforms with ultra smooth custom curvatures (near real Bézier).

This is what became the end result of that endeavour.

FABRIKATA sits somewhere between Alphabet Soup's Grafika typeface, countless of old Dada Constructivism print material and the brand logo lettering for Plantur 39.

The letterform for the д came to me in a sudden burst of inspiration.

Я начал FontStruct с желания сделать шрифт как на клавиатурах у RAZER, но не получилось - мог ли я подумать, что падение в кроличью нару окажется настолько долгим? Я не ухожу, но этот шрифт - как прощальное письмо на этот случай, я уже сделал.

I started FontStruct with a desire to make a font like on the old RAZER keyboards, but it didn't work out - could I have thought it would take so long to fall into a rabbit bunny? I'm not leaving, but this font is like a farewell letter for this occasion, I have already done.

What better way to celebrate our bright future than pushing a whole creative medium forward? Introducing Brick Patching – a combinatoric approach to constructing hyper-tunable curved and angular modular forms.

Stay tuned to this space; *eventually I will describe this highly useful hack and fully document the technique.

Upgrade your gray matter cuz one day it may matter.

Constructivism stencil typeface design

Recap of Wim Crouwel's famous typeface design for Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum "Vormgevers" Poster that was published in 1968.

Maybe I will include the full uppercase letters soon as well.

for now,

Enjoy!

A remastered version of the classic lettering by "Theo Van Doesburg" for avant garde architectural magazine "De Stijl".

So, rather than a replica of the original, this is a 2018 view of the classic letters. It still follows the global contour of the original letters but instead of being stenciled it features solid glyphs.

Attempt to recap the classic lettering by "Theo Van Doesburg" for avant garde architectural magazine "De Stijl".

Apart from some small variations I made between a couple of upper and lower case characters the two are mostly copies!

FABRICON-CAST is another style variation within the FABRICON family.

This style was inspired by metal casting and apart from some minor varriations I made to the punctuations it's very similar to the other styles in this family. Except that unlike the other styles this one will not combine seemlessly with the rest.
