Designed by David Kerkhoff, Understory is a hand display font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Hanoded.
Lately I feel reluctant to watch the news: The Amazon Forest is burning, Australian forests are burning, palm oil controversy… It really brings tears to my eyes to see all this destruction around me. It is like people hate nature with a vengeance - I cannot explain it otherwise.
I made this font to take my mind off things. It was loosely based on Futura, a font I really like.
Understory was completely made by hand. It comes with some cute upper case swashes and a whole bunch of diacritics. The good thing is: no trees were cut down or burned to make this font; in fact, I donated a nice amount of $ to help save the rainforests!
