This is a Font inspired by the Art Deco movement. The theme for this idea is "Elegant". I decided not to do the traditional elegant that is mostly made from curves and more thick lines. My font is more of a "man elegant" style. I was inspired by the thin and simple lines from the art deco time that are very elegant but at the same time they show "power".
Ornate has been created based of the theme 'Elegant'. Through the process of producing this typeface I carried out various experiments by hand exploring different styles of typefaces which showcased the concept of elegant; such as Calligraphy and refined san serif/serif typefaces. This serif typeface is my interpretation of elegance and represents the characteristics I explored through researching and experimenting. It’s simple, refined and confident.
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.
