The dots are such that the curved shapes and squared-off letters just would not resolve to an equal height no matter what I tried.

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.”

Contains some emots like ":)" or ":P", a lot of frames, patterned squares, shapes, card suits (Heart, Spade, Club, Diamond), lifestyle icons (eg tv, pizza slice), sex dingbats (female and male sign), vehicles and more. 

Can be used as well in online chat program, ingame chat, just for design and for other things that I can't imagine. 

N-joy. 

UPDATE:

There's need to type space between glyphs because no spacing is much more useful fo eg in patterns and frame elements.Simple%20pixelated%20dingbats%20and%20emoticons.%20Contains%20some%20emots%20like%20%22%3A%29%22%20or%20%22%3AP%22%2C%20a%20lot%20of%20frames%2C%20patterned%20squares%2C%20shapes%2C%20card%20suits%20%28Heart%2C%20Spade%2C%20Club%2C%20Diamond%29%2C%20lifestyle%20icons%20%28eg%20tv%2C%20pizza%20slice%29%2C%20sex%20dingbats%20%28female%20and%20male%20sign%29%2C%20vehicles%20and%20more.%20%0D%0A%0D%0ACan%20be%20used%20as%20well%20in%20online%20chat%20program%2C%20ingame%20chat%2C%20just%20for%20design%20and%20for%20other%20things%20that%20I%20can%27t%20imagine.%20%0D%0A%0D%0AN-joy.%20%0D%0A%0D%0A%3Cfont%20color%3D%22red%22%3EUPDATE%3A%3C%2Ffont%3E%0D%0A%0D%0A%3Cb%3EThere%27s%20need%20to%20type%20space%20between%20glyphs%20because%20no%20spacing%20is%20much%20more%20useful%20fo%20eg%20in%20patterns%20and%20frame%20elements.%3C%2Fb%3E

10 Downloads10%20Downloads102 Comments2%20Comments2101 Glyphs101%20Glyphs101I am on the quest to create a modern widely usable font, with an interresting difference. The first stage of this journey began with my wild font "convention", inspired by the shapes of letterforms, found within architectural environments. The second stage of this process was where i created a font called "rebuild", where i have tried to tame the form from my font "convention". In this third font, i have made further drastic changes, to decide on these forms. Using these forms, i now intend to create a small font family called "new build"!I%20am%20on%20the%20quest%20to%20create%20a%20modern%20widely%20usable%20font%2C%20with%20an%20interresting%20difference.%20The%20first%20stage%20of%20this%20journey%20began%20with%20my%20wild%20font%20%22convention%22%2C%20inspired%20by%20the%20shapes%20of%20letterforms%2C%20found%20within%20architectural%20environments.%20The%20second%20stage%20of%20this%20process%20was%20where%20i%20created%20a%20font%20called%20%22rebuild%22%2C%20where%20i%20have%20tried%20to%20tame%20the%20form%20from%20my%20font%20%22convention%22.%20In%20this%20third%20font%2C%20i%20have%20made%20further%20drastic%20changes%2C%20to%20decide%20on%20these%20forms.%20Using%20these%20forms%2C%20i%20now%20intend%20to%20create%20a%20small%20font%20family%20called%20%22new%20build%22%21

Some fonts you just can’t FontStruct. Try a non-modular typeface from FontShop.com
