F.F.M. (Sharp) — Constructivism style lettering
═══════════════════════════════════
Revision of a typeface for one of my all-time favorite record labels, the German (Frankfurt) based "Planet Core Productions". The typeface was seen on many of their vinyls and cds as well as various other stuff. It originated back in 1992 and was custom made by Paul Nicholson for the Planet Core Productions.
The original came as a minuscules (lowercase) only, plus it had fewer symbols & punctuation marks. So I took the liberty of filling in the blanks, and expand the character set.
Besides the inclusion of a uppercase set I also added some extra symbols and punctuations as well as a hand full of alternative forms that I gathered from various media such as CD, vinyl and posters.
This is the Sharp style variation for F.F.M. and this version features sharp/hard corners.
The main purpose for the digital recreation of the label's typefaces is to supplement in the creation of Planet Core Productions related literary scribings. The typefaces are the property of Planet Core Productions and were originally designed by P. Nicholson.
Cheers

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"

I provided the (A-Z, Uc & Lc) basic latin character set, numerals, basic punctuations & symbols. Some of the symbols could still use slight improvements though. But the grid/brick system parameters did pose some tough limitations in regard to the allowed complexity.
The quality of the font preview shown above by FS's website is very poor and inacurate due to the combination of brick size filter (0.90-0.90), very small incisions and composite bricks. Best you'll check the sample image bellow in the comment section.

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!
MARTIAN AMBASSADOR - a quirky alien looking typeface.
What first started as a tryout to make entire glyphs within a single composite brick quickly got out of hand. lol
Each glyph was designed on a 2x2 grid by way of composite stacking. Lowercase and superscript characters are single brick composites.
Viewed in the fontstruct preview many glyphs do not show clean edges because I heavily made use of composite bricks and stacks on a small grid. However, these irregularities are not really present in the actual TrueType Font.
Inspired by the lettering found on a vintage sheet music cover art for "La Java bousculée" released in 1924. Cover illustration and letters are designed by "Robert Laroche".
I attempted to complete the alphabet and numeral plus some punctuations!
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_HETERODYNE_(SOLID)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.
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.
This is a clone of STF_FABRICON_(OUTLINE)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 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).

Recap of the lettering from Dutch hardware store-chain "GAMMA".
I have absolutely zero clue on who originally designed it.
(If someone here knows more about the origins please let me know, thanks)
Nonetheless it's a pretty cool futuristic looking design as well as a tribute to its predecessors that set the tone for the genre at the start of the last century.
As usual the alphabet is completed and some punctuations is added.
