"Ploos: A Dutch Type Foundry Celebrating Artistic Heritage" Step into the world of Ploos, a renowned Dutch Type Foundry that pays homage to the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands. Founded by Cornelis Ploos van Amstel and his talented collaborators, this creative endeavor showcases their passion for preserving and sharing iconic works of art. Drawing inspiration from esteemed artists such as Allart van Everdingen, Adriaen van de Velde, Rembrandt van Rijn, Jan van der Meer II, Govaert Flinck, Jacob Esselens, Jan Pietersz Saenredam, Simon van der Does, and Gerbrand van den Eeckhout; Ploos brings these masterpieces to life through their meticulously crafted typefaces. Intricate details are carefully translated onto each letterform with utmost precision. The elegance of Allart Van Everdingen's landscapes is captured in graceful curves while Adriaen Van de Velde's pastoral scenes find expression in gentle serifs. Rembrandt's captivating portraits come alive through bold strokes and nuanced contours. Ploos collaborates with Bernhard Schreuder to recreate Govaert Flinck's dramatic compositions and Jacob Esselens' evocative imagery. Together with Cornelis Brouwer they pay tribute to Jan Pietersz Saenredam's architectural marvels and Simon Van der Does' intricate designs. Lastly but not leastly they bring forth Gerbrand Van den Eeckhout’s emotive brushwork.
