Some of his early work included alternative versions of Frutiger, which much of his work is influenced by.[11] While working at MetaDesign he began working on the Thesis family in his spare time, a project he described as being enabled by a lack of personal connections outside work.[12] Thesis was initially published by Spiekermann's FontShop library before he established an independent company. De Groot's work includes commercially released fonts and also custom families for particular clients: Corpid (previously AgroSans) for the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture; SunSans for Sun Microsystems; SpiegelSans and Taz for, respectively, the German magazines Der Spiegel[6] and die tageszeitung; and FolhaSerif for the Brazilian newspaper Folha.[13] Some of these such as Taz have since become publicly available.[14] De Groot teaches at the Design Faculty of the Fachhochschule Potsdam or University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam, outside Berlin.[15][16] FontsMajor fonts by de Groot include:
As an amusement, de Groot also developed a number of parodic, spiky or distorted reworkings of Thesis, including Nebulae and JesusLovesYouAll.[20] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Knecht|first1=Sonja|title=European Cyrillics|url=http://txet.de/typofest-bulgaria/|website=TXET|accessdate=31 August 2017}} 2. ^{{cite book| first1=Jason| last1=Tselentis| first2=Allan| last2=Haley| first3=Richard| last3=Poulin| title=Typography, Referenced: A Comprehensive Visual Guide to the Language, History, and Practice of Typography| url= https://books.google.com/books?id=2-W4vxVM-8gC&pg=PA91| date=1 February 2012| publisher=Rockport Publishers| isbn=978-1-61058-205-6 |page=91}} 3. ^{{cite book |title=An A-Z of Type Designers |last=Macmillan |first=Neil |year=2006 |publisher=Yale University Press | page=97 | url=https://books.google.ca/books?id=jxV4qEolEo8C&pg=PA97 | accessdate=17 September 2011}} 4. ^{{cite book| author=Misjel Vossen| title=Goed voor druk |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=oT9zG1OeeZIC&pg=PA57| year=2008| publisher=Academia Press| isbn=978-90-382-1225-8| page=57}} 5. ^{{cite book| author1=Jürgen Gulbins| author2=Christine Kahrmann| title=Mut zur Typographie: Ein Kurs für Desktop-Publishing| url= https://books.google.com/books?id=M1kiBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA97| date=8 March 2013| publisher=Springer-Verlag|isbn=978-3-642-57294-4| page=97}} 6. ^1 Garfield, Simon.
