Vinstra
Vinstra was developed during a typeface design workshop at Gjøvik University College held by Veronika Burian from TypeTogether, spring 2012.
This is my first typeface, inspired by Vinstra, Gudbrandsdalen (Norway) – where I grew up.
The font started out with a combination of Berthold Walbaum and Baskerville Old Face's glyphs.
Vinstra also have integrated serifs and ligatures taken from the leaf pattern in the national costume of Gudbrandsdalen.
I wanted to create a typeface that captures some of the traditional feeling, the mood that is often associated with both Gudbrandsdalen and Norway in general. This is the very own typeface of my home.
