JS-SANS MARX (COMPRESSED 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,

This is a clone of STF_JS-SANS MARX (COMPRESSED MEDIUM)PHOTONIA (Pro) - 70s future retro style
═══════════════════════════════════
70s style reverse contrast sans with future retro aesthetics, perfect for projects with a vintage sci-fi, space age or computer theme.
This is actually a refurbished and extended version of an older FontStruction I did back in 2019. The original PHOTONIA was a cool looking little work, but didn't quite made the most of its design concept. Inexperience and poor design decisions had led to inconsistencies and other flaws throughout the font. Besides those it also had a small character set that mostly consisted out of the basic Latin block and bare essential symbols & punctuation marks. But imo it still had quite an interresting retro vibe and the potential to be more. So I decided to give the old project some well deserved refreshments.
First I started eliminating the inconsistencies that were present in the older work, than I continued polishing and re-design / modify several characters hoping to create a greater overall unity to the entire piece. Once I was fully satisfied with this renewed improvements it was time to build and expand the character set towards a more complete lingual and typographic support.
➜ ⚠ Previous Version:
▶ Basic Latin only
▶ Minimal kerning
➜ ⚠ What's New Inside:
▶ Additional Latin and accented Latin
▶ Diacritics
▶ Many glyph alternative forms
▶ Additional symbols and punctuation marks
▶ Horizontal box drawing (page deviders)
▶ Typographical symbols
▶ Ornamental printer's characters
▶ 1680 stored kerning pairs

This is a cloneETC Vieux Canard is whimsical, geometric sans-serif font based on V. Sarela's "Res Cogitans" and Christian Munk's "Insular Typewriter".
Some letters are oddly kerned, but that is due to FontStruct's +/- 10 unit limit on kerning.
This is my first ever font using ideas to make an heavy sans-serif typeface. I was inspired by elmoyenique and Jamie Place (FontBlast). I'm not stealing ideas from anybody by the way, I've wanted to share something to explain a journey of making my own fonts in life.
I got some aspect of making the glyphs look heavier. I've tried to make the letter f, but it flawlessly has the same height as the other glyphs. If I make number four, than I've obviously make it like this because the slanted bricks are not enough to make up a four glyph. Some of the glyphs (for example: ð, ß, ™, ®) are hard to build it because it was considered to be rounded by its curve and too small if the text was heavier.
When I run out of name ideas, the only idea of this font name i've chose is Lourde (french word for heavy).

═══════════════════════════════════
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. The lettering was used in several of his later smaller projects, mainly for some design work regarding the Schrofer family. One of such was the wedding card he designed for Olga Schrofer & Djien Injo. Schrofer had never designed a complete alphabet for this specific lettering, and all the gathered resource material I was able to collect ( 1, 2, 3, 4 ) still yielded a combined total of 19 different lowercase letters "acdefghijlnoprstuwy"
Anyway, by the looks of it we can asume that this derived from or eventually had led to another one of his alphabet systems that came around that same time. This was one of his alphabet systems that he developed into a complete typeface. First appearance back in 1968 on Olga & Djien's wedding card. Later a slight modified variation of that same sans-serif system was used for the Dutch 1969 postage stamp design that celebrated the 50th anniversary of the 1919 International Workers' Organization. Several more instances would later follow, But the best and most complete preview of this sans-serif concept is probably seen on the red / white alphabet sample composition he did. Here a semi-bold version was completed to a full lowercase (a-z) alphabet set and small caps figures (no symbols or punctuation marks)
This particular alphabet system eventually saw extensive use, and can be seen in many of his work, ranging from book designs and brochures all the way to postage-stamps. So there is no shortage of resource material on this alphabet system.
Over the course of its existence the alphabet was constantly evolving, and Schrofer kept expanding the system with additional new weights and slight variations. But during his time with Mouton & Co. the concept basics for this sans system became one of his lettering workhorses, and saw widespread application.
Schrofer made several attempts to create complete typefaces, 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 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. In addition, the lack of any naming for its alphabet systems and lettering-concepts can sometimes make it difficult to tell things apart, or instead group them into several larger font families, consisting of multiple weights and -or slightly modified style variations.
This specific proportion that I used for the revival of the alphabet system only appeared in three small occasions of Schrofer's autonomous works.
It basically is the same simple, clean, but solid looking geometric sans-serif system he often reused. It is also the same general concept for the alphabet system STF_SANS ROUNDED was based upon, but with some minor changes.
This variation comes in a smaller weight and less condensed form, more open-spaced letters that almost feel expanded. The medium contrast on its vertical axis remains. In addition the overall character set was greatly extended as well as several other minute changes that were incorporated.

═══════════════════════════════════
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.

═══════════════════════════════════
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 revision based on a alphabet system Schrofer originally created somewhere during the late 1960s.
Its a simple, yet solid and clean looking geometric sans-serif style with medium contrast on its vertical axis. The alphabet as it originally was created by Schrofer featured a Lowercase (A-Z) character set with Small Caps figures (numerals) only, no symbols or punctuation marks were included.
This particular lettering was used in many of his work, such as book designs, brochure and post-stamps, so there is no shortage of resource material on the internet for this alphabet system. Over the course of its existence it was constantly evolving, and Schrofer kept expanding the alphabet system with additional new weights and slight variations. But during his time with Mouton & Co. the concept basics for this sans system became one of his workhorse letterings, and saw widespread application, with appearances dating back as early as 1968, when Schrofer developed the designs for the 1969 Dutch post-stamp.
I've already done a revival for this alphabet back in 2018. This was during my first year of joining FontStruct, so therefore the first revival attempt now seems more like an insult to Schrofer's brilliance rahter than a tribute.
Pointing out some of the flaws present in the old recap:
Certain key design characteristics weren't extrapolated properly throughout all of the required letters or were missing completely (imo. this is one aspect of a font revival the designer at least has to do right). Its Uppercase forms looked as if they did actually belong to another font all together, back then no additional Lining figures were included that would suit the newly added Uppercase letters, and only a handful of very poorly crafted symbols and punctuation marks was included. As a matter of fact, it was only just the second Schrofer work I ever digitalized. So yeah...
— Now five years later the time had arrived for the rematch.
And this time I wasn't going to enter the tekken as the new farmhand or a lazy dog. But came well prepared to battle that grumpy wizard as a quick brown fox. Five boxing muscles flexed and sufficient toxic brews at hand, but above all.. A postgraduate academic with a Master's degree in "DIY FontStructivism" at the university of Home. So there weren't many very exquisite codfish eggs to judge my fizzy vow. Jack proved strong, but picking only six quinces, unable to quickly fax Judge Pat, he eventually been left a puzzled women, and so I jumped jewels when I was crowned the Sphinx's evil Queen Fredericka.
— I think that is summarizing it all very neatly.
But, just in (lower), case, here is a "Give me Gum-Gum-" explanation for all you rocket scientists among us:
For this revision I only used Schrofer's original red / white alphabet sample composition. Sticking with just one resource made sure I kept a non-biased vision for extrapolating the remainder of the character set. This simply because shear amount of variations that Schrofer had contributed to this alphabet system would make it difficult to consistently combine everything into one complete work.
I reproduced and included all Schrofer's lowercase characters and numerals as were shown in his original composition. From that point out I designed the rest of the font myself as faithful I possibly could. Yet in the end two major change were made to my recap in relation to Schrofer's original that aren't typically very desirable in a revival and therefore not recommend when strictly aiming at reviving a original work, but in the case of this Schrofer alphabet in terms of how it was provided by himself it was rather wisdom than that it was madness.
Let me explain what changes were made and what effect they have in terms of to what extend it deviates away from technically speaking still classifying as a revival. First of all, his original Lowercase letter f is very interruptive in a line of text. Up to a point that is really taking a toll on its overall aesthetics. So I modified the original ever so slighty, basically all I did was decreasing the length of the horizontal crossbar a tad bit so that it would allow additional kerning for the character to eliminate the issue it innitially created. I relocated Schrofers original form into the Full Width Unicode block as alternative form.
The other major change was essentially the complete redesign of numerals forms. I replaced Schrofer's original Small Caps figures with a new set of newly designed Lining figures to be the font's default figures, making the default text figures a far better match for the newly introduced Uppercase alphabet letters. Schrofers Small Caps forms are still in there, but now relocated to the Full Width Unicode block as glyph alternative forms as well.
Both of which affect the font's innitial physical appearance, but thanks to some rearranging of segments within the character set neither will have effect on the reviving part of the project, since all of Schrofer's original letterforms are still included and available for use. But this was done to bring a certain level of harmony and logic to the piece from a typeface-standard perspective. So technically this would classify SANS ROUNDED as revision and not a revival. Which to the broader sense is correct. But it also still technically could be used to function as a revival. So perhaps it could be both at the same time?
Than in addition to that I also provided a small number of glyph alternative forms that are located in both the Full Width and Private Use Area 1 Unicode blocks.
Extra alternative glyph forms are:
⮻ acefgjrstVvyz
⮻ 4× experimental lowercase letter 'g' alternate forms
⮻ small latin letter 'Eth'
I hope you like it,
