Alphabet
Designed and folded by me some years ago. A design student needed the word "IRONY" for her bachelor project and thought it would work well to make it in origami. I set "graphical expressive" as the criterion. I also set the constraint "9 cm white squares". Later I needed the word "ONSDAGSORIGAMI" (wednesday origami) for one of my own posters.
In the end, I made the whole alphabet, though I had to give op on the Danish letters "Æ" and "Å". The "Ø" is included.
Further design guidelines: A uniform looking font weight. Filled-in interiors. No cut, no glue (of course, for this challenge). Capital letters.
The picture shows the alphabet I stored it back then in a box, including a few alternative shapes for some of the letters (the box also contains more interim alternatives of other letters) . I should do a more careful rendering of some of the letters, and the "F" and "P" are the wrong way and may obviously and easily be made the right way.
The "Y" originates from the graphically expressive rendering of "IRONY", and I like it even if it is not the interior that is filled. It is easy to make a more standard "Y", e.g. by modifying the lambda above the L - and yes, I know that this lambda is not capital, and not even English/Latin.
No diagrams yet, I apologise.
