16 Downloads16%20Downloads1610 Comments10%20Comments1042 Glyphs42%20Glyphs42A tribute to Josef Albers: inadvertently inspired by saberrider and afrojet. This font totally happened by accident. Recently, saberrider created steep, which uses a 2.0 x 1.11 filter setting to smoothly blend the quarter-circle bricks into the triangles. After saberrider created his experimental variable scale fontstruction, it lead me to revisit an abandoned work I did from last year that was done in a similar scale. After getting over the initial disgust of looking at the dismal failure, I started tweaking. Then I decided to tweak the letters instead. It became apparent that I could create a stencil type font that also looked like Josef Alber's font. Coincidentally, Saberrider also has a variation with fontstract, and of course, that Stewf guy has his own family of Leaflets. ;-) Afrojet's sessions came into play in creating some of the letter forms, especially the numerals. The final filter setting became 1.638 x 1.08, which created a nice fusion of the curved and triangular bricks, but was also naturally inclined to necessitate the vertical divide on each glyph. The rest flowed rather easily from there. Here's to more happy accidents. =) The sample is also a tribute to Alber's color theory, showing the names in identical colors, which, when juxtaposed over contrasting colors tricks the eye into thinking the bottom name is darker than the top. The following Josef Albers quote can relate to all things creative, like fontstructing, not just color: "It should be clear by now that our way of studying color does not start with the past - neither with works of the past nor with its theories. As we begin principally with the material, color itself, and its action and interaction as registered in our minds, we practice first and mainly a study of ourselves. Thus, we replace looking backward by looking first at ourselves and our surroundings, and replace retrospection with introspection." - Josef Albers A%20tribute%20to%20Josef%20Albers%3A%20inadvertently%20inspired%20by%20saberrider%20and%20afrojet.%20%0D%0A%0D%0AThis%20font%20totally%20happened%20by%20accident.%20Recently%2C%20saberrider%20created%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F185027%22%3Esteep%2C%3C%2Fa%3E%20which%20uses%20a%202.0%20x%201.11%20filter%20setting%20to%20smoothly%20blend%20the%20quarter-circle%20bricks%20into%20the%20triangles.%20After%20saberrider%20created%20his%20experimental%20variable%20scale%20fontstruction%2C%20it%20lead%20me%20to%20revisit%20an%20abandoned%20work%20I%20did%20from%20last%20year%20that%20was%20done%20in%20a%20similar%20scale.%20After%20getting%20over%20the%20initial%20disgust%20of%20looking%20at%20the%20dismal%20failure%2C%20I%20started%20tweaking.%20Then%20I%20decided%20to%20tweak%20the%20letters%20instead.%20It%20became%20apparent%20that%20I%20could%20create%20a%20stencil%20type%20font%20that%20also%20looked%20like%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.p22.com%2Fproducts%2Falbers.html%22%3EJosef%20Alber%27s%20font.%3C%2Fa%3E%20Coincidentally%2C%20Saberrider%20also%20has%20a%20variation%20with%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F90140%22%3Efontstract%2C%3C%2Fa%3E%0D%0Aand%20of%20course%2C%20that%20Stewf%20guy%20has%20his%20own%20family%20of%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Fgallery%2F2%2Fall%2Fhighest_rated%2F0%2Fleaflet%22%3ELeaflets.%3C%2Fa%3E%20%3B-%29%20Afrojet%27s%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F178441%22%3Esessions%3C%2Fa%3E%20came%20into%20play%20in%20creating%20some%20of%20the%20letter%20forms%2C%20especially%20the%20numerals.%20The%20final%20filter%20setting%20became%201.638%20x%201.08%2C%20which%20created%20a%20nice%20fusion%20of%20the%20curved%20and%20triangular%20bricks%2C%20but%20was%20also%20naturally%20inclined%20to%20necessitate%20the%20vertical%20divide%20on%20each%20glyph.%20The%20rest%20flowed%20rather%20easily%20from%20there.%20Here%27s%20to%20more%20happy%20accidents.%20%3D%29%0D%0A%0D%0AThe%20sample%20is%20also%20a%20tribute%20to%20Alber%27s%20color%20theory%2C%20showing%20the%20names%20in%20identical%20colors%2C%20which%2C%20when%20juxtaposed%20over%20contrasting%20colors%20tricks%20the%20eye%20into%20thinking%20the%20bottom%20name%20is%20darker%20than%20the%20top.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe%20following%20Josef%20Albers%20quote%20can%20relate%20to%20all%20things%20creative%2C%20like%20fontstructing%2C%20not%20just%20color%3A%20%0D%0A%3Ci%3E%0D%0A%22It%20should%20be%20clear%20by%20now%20that%20our%20way%20of%20studying%20color%20does%20not%20start%20with%20the%20past%20-%20neither%20with%20works%20of%20the%20past%20nor%20with%20its%20theories.%0D%0A%0D%0AAs%20we%20begin%20principally%20with%20the%20material%2C%20color%20itself%2C%20and%20its%20action%20and%20interaction%20as%20registered%20in%20our%20minds%2C%20we%20practice%20first%20and%20mainly%20a%20study%20of%20ourselves.%0D%0A%0D%0AThus%2C%20we%20replace%20looking%20backward%20by%20looking%20first%20at%20ourselves%20and%20our%20surroundings%2C%20and%20replace%20retrospection%20with%20introspection.%22%0D%0A%3C%2Fi%3E%0D%0A-%20Josef%20Albers%0D%0A

Josef Albers' constructivist typographic experiments are a perfect match for Fontstruct. Other Fontstructors have done great work with Alber's ideas. Most notably, Saberrider's fontsract and Stewf's Leaflet family. Using Josef Albers' Kombinationsschrift alphabet (1928-1931) as my foundation, I've been having a lot of fun remixing and experimenting with his letters. 'Sessions' is the first to get shared.

Over 2,000 posters were produced by the W.P.A. to raise awareness and support the arts. I have a lot of admiration for these posters and a style of sign painters' lettering that was common in the U.S. during the 1930s-'40s. WPA Gothic gets much of its inspiration from this poster in particular. This FontStruction stays true to the sample’s simple letterforms, but the FontStruct grid does present a few limitations. For more refined typefaces of this style check out Futura Display, Tourist Gothic, FF Moderne Gothics, Refrigerator, and MVB Solano Gothic by some of my favorite type designers, two of which (Van Bronkhorst and Parkinson) are East Bay natives. WPA Gothic has a few alternate glyphs hanging out in the Extended Latin slots with more to come. To get a look at the typeface outside the confines of the FontStruct sampler, here's a sample poster.
