Don't know if anyone's done this before, but I wanted to recreate the Fontstruct logo as an actual working typeface! Hope all of you enjoy it, I might add all of the grammatical characters soon too.

At first I started to struct the lettering seen on the book cover of:
"Tot elkaar veroordeeld 'De Nederlands-Duitse economische betrekking' (tussen 1945-1957)"by Martijn Lak.
But doing a little more research it turned out to be the 1988 geometric typeface "Senator" originally designed by Zuzana Licko.
I took the liberty of making sort of a replica.
I made a couple of small changes here and there trying to improve its overall look.
A display typeface that revisits the classic Randstad alphabet originally designed by Ben Bos in 1969 working at Total Design. Some changes have been made to a number of characters and letter spacing in order to improve the overal ballance and legibility. In other words, more a semi-recap rahter than a exact replica.
A font inspired by retro video games, and retro styled games. Ispiration stemming from games like Undertale, Earth Bound, Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and other things like classic zombie and horror movie culture. Another huge inspiration to this font was Nitrome, a computer game website that I grew up with as a kid which featured dozens of flash and pixel based games. The font is designed to be versitile in a few kinds of styles, whether it's a horror movie poster or an ice cream shop stand, it's appealing to the eye and can be played with tons of color choices and style varieties.
This typeface is as cool as it sounds. It has a total of 46 glyphs and each one is awesome. It was made for Big Time Arcade and after years of begging we are releasing it to the public. I hope you all enjoy it and make sure you leave comments to tell us how it could be improved, if that is even possible.
