the typeface was adapted from "nasi pecel" one of traditional food from indonesia. The food consisted of rice and a lot of vegetables. One of the vegetables is bean sprout that taken most of the idea to make this typeface especially the semi script one.
I designed this font based on the word 'Thunderous'. My thinking in how the word relates is due to the Norse God Thor. I then started to look in to old Norse culture, this got me interested in runes. So with deeper research in to the Futharks spawned this type.
This type was made in our class of typhografy, we are from Portugal and we want to show you our work. This font have very elegant forms and contrast between stems, so that's why our font called "alterna" that means alternate in english. It's apropriate for tittles but you can use it for other things only as long as it's bigger than 20pt.
So this is basically how you can design each letter of the alphabet using 2x4 wooden planks. I can also show you the difficulty level for some of these letters. For example: the letters L, T, and I are the easiest to make, letters like R (which is what I'm gonna make) is in the medium level, and the letter G is the hardest to make. Examples of letters that have similar difficulty levels include Q and O (where Q is just an O with an extra thing at the bottom), E and F (where E is just an F with an extra 45° angle at the bottom), and W and M (exactly the same difficulty, with W just being an M upside-down). But, even though G and C have similar shapes, the letter G having an extra line makes it indeed much harder to make than the letter C, making it actually the hardest to make out of all the letters.
