Designing a Font: Part Three

---

New developments regarding the Schrofer typeface…

---

Avid followers of my blog (are there any?) will no doubt remember that many many months ago I spent a short time creating a font based on some drawings by Jurriaan Schrofer:

I came across this image on flickr.com this morning, the cover of a book called ‘de internationale avant-garde tussen de twee’ (which Google translates as ‘the international avant-garde between the two’ - feel free to supply a more accurate translation, confirm this is correct or give more details about the book if you’ve read it).

It was designed by Jurriaan Schrofer and shows that my own glyph shapes are very similar to the ones he’s used, (although in this example Jurriaan’s are taller than mine) The layout is also kind of similar to my own sample.

Now the hunt begins for a good copy of this book and more examples of Jurriaan’s work!

PS.
I also found another fan of JS’s work on the Behance network, take a look at him doing his thing here
