The industrial background of the early 20th century typography gave Struve its well-adjusted underlying proportions and robust appearance. Struve preserves the dust of locomotive plates, reworking it into a consistent design approach.
Most of Struve’s alternative forms were found by examining various kinds of early 20th-century typographic ephemera. The designs made by artists, typographers, and even writers of that time were carefully analysed, reinvented, and turned into a clear system of stylistic sets.
Struve supports many minority languages such as Pintupi-Luritja used in the Australian deserts, Záparo spoken in Peru, Chickasaw, native to the indigenous people of the Southeastern Woodlands of the United States, and the Yukaghir languages found in the Russian Far East.
