Original typeface design by Wim Crouwel.
oh I just noticed someone else here on FontStruct sort of made
a recap of this as well. (which I obviously didn't copy)
Yet still is worth mentioning and can be found here:
steadelijk by Craig Wills (delicraig)
But instead of duplicating the original work that was designed
by Wim Crouwel himself, Craig seemed to have made a copy of
Architype Stedelijk (another recap of the famous typeface)
but, which (I think) actually was made by The Foundry.
I have exclusively used the original 1968 poster design as the source for my recap. (image bellow)
Overal mine looks very similar to Craig's attempt apart from
three major differences,
FIRST - Mine uses a negative (-0,75) letter spacing. (to mimic the original more accuratly).
SECOND- The curved right triangles and rounded corners in my version have a smaller radius.
LAST - I have a much more complete character set and some of the glyphs are slightly different.
I recently watched this work up close.
In Japan.
It;s a very solid design Wim delivered. So did you enjoy the exhibit in Japan?
This is what a remake really is
@Sed4tives - While the FontStruct search function is broken at the moment, here are my second versions (certainly more accurate than my first attempts):
Getting Away With It 2 - Kerned
Getting Away With It 2
These are based on the lettering from Electronic's eponymous album from 1991, which was my first introduction to this wonderful typeface. Electronic was formed as a side project by Bernard Sumner of "New Order" and Johnny Marr of "The Smiths".
My first versions consisted of only the square block, instead using filters to simulate the curves:
Getting Away With It - Kerned
Getting Away With It
@ Goatmeal I check them all, well done ofcourse,
I appreciate the slightly different approach u made on some of the glyphs while I was cross-referencing them with mine.
ztedelijk-Crouwel, my own version of this mitic alphabet, inspired by the seminal Stedelijk Museum poster from the great Wim Crouwel (and similar other fonts, I like specially igorrossi's "Crouwel's Stedelijk Alphabeth". A tribute to all the Typographers.
You can use some of my UC or numbers or other shapes, if you want, of course.
BTW, a lot of us here we loved the Crouwel works, I see.
Sorry. Change "some" for "any", please.
