Architype Van Doesburg

The digital revival shown at right was produced by Freda Sack and David Quay of The Foundry.

Van Doesburg's earliest uses of the alphabet was in limited quantity, made up of letterpress ruling pieces, and not as strictly formed as his more finished 1919 version.

A similarly constructed rectilinear sans-serif typeface, designed in 1917 by Piet Zwart bears comparison.

The face is similar to Van Doesburg's later 1928 alphabet designed for the Café Aubette in Strasbourg.

The Architype Van Doesburg typeface is part of a collection of several revivals of early twentieth century typographic experimentation designed by Freda Sack and David Quay of The Foundry.
