But there are enough differences with Ribbon Inline to merit giving this FontStruction a new name.

171 Downloads171%20Downloads17112 Comments12%20Comments12207 Glyphs207%20Glyphs207I've added a side shadow to Prometheus. The inspiration was a typeface from the French type foundry Peignot. Identified as "No. 1229" in their Lettres Fantaises of 1896, it sports a very fine side shadow, which I've attempted to re-create here. (I found the "No. 1229" sample on Hoefler & Frere-Jones' blog - fifth image from the top.)

This FontStruction is split in two to make downloading possible. The Basic Set (this half) features all of the Basic Latin and More Latin characters, while the Extended Set has all of the Extended Latin A and several Extended Latin B characters (Latin-based diacritics for the Central European, West European, Baltic, and Romanian languages, plus special characters for Croatian, Slovenian, and Livonian, among others).I%27ve%20added%20a%20side%20shadow%20to%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F80235%22%3EPrometheus%3C%2Fa%3E.%20The%20inspiration%20was%20a%20typeface%20from%20the%20French%20type%20foundry%20Peignot.%20Identified%20as%20%22No.%201229%22%20in%20their%20%3Cem%3ELettres%20Fantaises%3C%2Fem%3E%20of%201896%2C%20it%20sports%20a%20very%20fine%20side%20shadow%2C%20which%20I%27ve%20attempted%20to%20re-create%20here.%20%28I%20found%20the%20%22No.%201229%22%20sample%20on%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.typography.com%2Fask%2FshowBlog.php%3FblogID%3D34%22%3EHoefler%20%26%20Frere-Jones%27%20blog%3C%2Fa%3E%20-%20fifth%20image%20from%20the%20top.%29%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3E%0D%0A%0D%0AThis%20FontStruction%20is%20split%20in%20two%20to%20make%20downloading%20possible.%20The%20Basic%20Set%20%28this%20half%29%20features%20all%20of%20the%20Basic%20Latin%20and%20More%20Latin%20characters%2C%20while%20the%20%3Ca%20href%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Ffontstruct.fontshop.com%2Ffontstructions%2Fshow%2F104169%22%3EExtended%20Set%3C%2Fa%3E%20has%20all%20of%20the%20Extended%20Latin%20A%20and%20several%20Extended%20Latin%20B%20characters%20%28Latin-based%20diacritics%20for%20the%20Central%20European%2C%20West%20European%2C%20Baltic%2C%20and%20Romanian%20languages%2C%20plus%20special%20characters%20for%20Croatian%2C%20Slovenian%2C%20and%20Livonian%2C%20among%20others%29.

This FontStruction is loosely based on van Doesburg's alphabet of 1919. I have not followed his strict grid of 25 x 25 (unlike Freda Sack and David Quay's revival, Architype Van Doesburg, or P22's De Stijl Regular) -- in other words, some of my caps and numerals deviate from van Doesburg's original design.
