Advanced Typographic task 3

Task 3 - Create own City typographic

Seremban is where I am born and live now. 



About Seremban: 
Seremban is the capital of the Malaysian state of Negeri Sembilan, located within the district of Seremban, one of the seven districts of Negeri Sembilan. The town's administration is run by the Seremban Municipal Council also known as Majlis Perbandaran Seremban. On 9 September 2009, Seremban was to be declared as a city, however it was later deferred due to technical reasons. However, the idea of granting city status has been brought up again and Seremban is expected to become a city on September 9, 2013.

Culture:
Historically, Negeri Sembilan is influenced by the Minangkabau's and thus, Seremban is the centre of the Minangkabau culture in Malaysia. Minangkabau, derived from the Malay word menang kerbau, which means "winning buffalo", are famous for their unique roof architecture which resembles buffalo horns. Many buildings in Seremban adapted this feature, such as the Seremban Municipal Council Hall, the Wisma Negeri and the State Museum.
People of Negeri Sembilan are also known for the practice of an ancient Malay tradition called Adat Perpatih, where women are given a higher social status than men.

Cuisine:
Seremban is famous for its special delicacies comprising Malay, Chinese, and Indian cuisine. Among the famous local cuisine is Seremban Siew Pau (Chinese: 芙蓉烧包) that is well known throughout the country. It is flaky pastry bun filled with meat fillings either pork, the traditional flavour or chicken which is halal.[8]
Aside from the famed Siew Pau, Seremban is also well known for its Nasi Padang or Minangkabau dishes. It is rich in coconut cream and is generally accompanied by a generous serving of cili padi(bird's eye chili).
Apparently Seremban is famous for baked crabs (Chinese: 芙蓉烧蟹)[9] and beef noodles (Chinese:牛腩粉),[10] especially the beef noodles food stalls here which had survived more than a generation. Nowadays, this famous beef noodles attracted a lot of tourists outside from the state to Seremban here with its thick slick gravy and sprinkled, peppery sticky sauce with peanuts, salted vegetables, spring onions and sesame seeds.
Local desserts include ABC or air batu campur meaning shaved ice with brown sugar syrup and rose flavouring, corn, beans, and cendol.
