Author's note
The top of each typeface is inspired by the curved and pointed upward roof of the Gadang house.
The inside of the middle of several box-shaped typefaces is inspired by the box window of the Gadang house.
The lower part of each typeface is the curved and pointed upward roof of the Gadang house, which intersects each bottom of the typeface.
Rumah gadang in the Pandai Sikek village of West Sumatra, with two rice barns (rangkiang) in front.
Rumah gadang or rumah bagonjong are the traditional homes of the Minangkabau people in West Sumatra, Indonesia. The architecture, construction, internal and external decoration, and the functions of the house reflect the culture and values of the Minangkabau. A rumah gadang serves as a residence, a hall for family meetings, and for ceremonial activities. In the matrilineal Minangkabau society, the rumah gadang is owned by the women of the family who live there; ownership is passed from mother to daughter.
The houses have dramatic curved roof structure with multi-tiered, upswept gables. Shuttered windows are built into walls incised with profuse painted floral carvings. The term rumah gadang usually refers to the larger communal homes, however, smaller single residences share many of its architectural elements.
