J, W and Z and font-wide letter spacing and character metrics adjusted.

Pay special attention to the stroke contrast on the z, x, w, and s. If contrast is too low (or the thick stroke too thin), the lc will appear too dark or too light next to the caps, creating a disharmonious affect.

Alternate as included in the more latin Unicode zone.

Good work, Simon! You’re almost there!

I saw some stringy potential dyed in the wool of intaglio’s original and tried to draw it out. First I added one brick to the x-height; second I added little connecting, er, nubs for a very tightly spaced continuous script. From there, I was basically done, but then had very little restraint and took it to this point, which is now sort of a mishmash of styles (let’s just go ahead and rule out all caps settings right here and now ;)

I am hoping one of y’all fontstructors will chime in with the next version that really knits the job up all nice like! Or, barring that, I will try to tighten it up and continue to defer all praise to intaglio.Clone%20of%20slubgob.%0D%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0AI%20saw%20some%20stringy%20potential%20dyed%20in%20the%20wool%20of%20intaglio%E2%80%99s%20original%20and%20tried%20to%20draw%20it%20out.%20First%20I%20added%20one%20brick%20to%20the%20x-height%3B%20second%20I%20added%20little%20connecting%2C%20er%2C%20nubs%20for%20a%20very%20tightly%20spaced%20continuous%20script.%20From%20there%2C%20I%20was%20basically%20done%2C%20but%20then%20had%20very%20little%20restraint%20and%20took%20it%20to%20this%20point%2C%20which%20is%20now%20sort%20of%20a%20mishmash%20of%20styles%20%28let%E2%80%99s%20just%20go%20ahead%20and%20rule%20out%20all%20caps%20settings%20right%20here%20and%20now%20%3B%29%0D%0A%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0AI%20am%20hoping%20one%20of%20y%E2%80%99all%20fontstructors%20will%20chime%20in%20with%20the%20next%20version%20that%20really%20knits%20the%20job%20up%20all%20nice%20like%21%20Or%2C%20barring%20that%2C%20I%20will%20try%20to%20tighten%20it%20up%20and%20continue%20to%20defer%20all%20praise%20to%20intaglio.

12 Downloads12%20Downloads1211 Comments11%20Comments1162 Glyphs62%20Glyphs62The ‘Sans Serious’ Series is a group of tribute typefaces meant to honor Dutch designer and typographer Jurriaan Schrofer.

Along with Wim Crouwel and Josef Albers, Jurrian Schrofer (1926 - 1990) was among the Bauhaus pioneers of grid-based modular typography and design. 

Schrofer's work experimented with type, light, and color and focused on mathematical shapes and pattern.

From the book ‘Dutch Type’ by Jan Middendorp:

“Schrofer made several attempts to create complete typefaces - one of which was wittily called Sans serious - 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 the 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, but always the creation of letterforms ‘made to measure’ as part of his own designs of - mainly - book covers and postage stamps. He created a rectangular alphabet as the basic element of his ever-changing covers - each based of the same grid but colored differently - for a series of scientific books, ‘Les textes sociologiques’ from Mouton Publishers. He made sophisticated pixel-based letters, all drawn by hand, and experimented with photographic screens as a means of distinguishing simplified letterforms from the background. He created logotypes built from custom-made letterforms, based on rectangular grids.”

“In his booklet ‘Letters op maat’ (‘Type made to measure’, 1987), Schrofer presented many of his experimental alphabets from the 1960s and '70s. The booklet was part of a series of goodwill publications edited by Wim Crouwel for Lecturis Printers, Eindhoven.”
