Based upon a De Stijl design by Theo van Doesburg (1883–1931) from 1919.
This typeface seems to use a 5×5 pixel grid at first look, but letters ‘B’, ‘D’ and ‘V’ require 10×10 pixels. Doesburg made some choices that you don’t find in modern pixel fonts.
Only uppercase characters and digits, some variants at lowercase letter positions.
Please note that this has been fontstructed before, but in slightly different ways: http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/architypixel_doesburg_5x5

My version of this historic piece of art. Only capital letters and numbers are trully the work of Van Doesburg, then i tried to complete the family with my own considerations, trying to be respectful of the original rules for the face.
Cheers.

I.K. Bonset was the pseudonym that Theo van Doesburg used to publish Dada poetry in his magazine De Stijl.
This FontStruction is loosely based on van Doesburg's alphabet of 1919. I have not followed his strict grid of 25 x 25 (unlike Freda Sack and David Quay's revival, Architype Van Doesburg, or P22's De Stijl Regular) -- in other words, some of my caps and numerals deviate from van Doesburg's original design. Also, I've added a lower case and diacritics (which I am currently updating).
