Boucherie specimen from Laura Worthington Design

A coordinated collection of display typefaces drawn from 19th-century French advertising typography, with four complementary subfamilies and a suite of ornamental design elements.

About

Four distinct display fonts cover block, cursive, flared and sans styles, all designed to sit together in typographic compositions that recall French commercial lettering of the 1800s. Catchwords, frames and ornaments extend the system for more elaborate layouts. OpenType swashes, alternates and stylistic sets are accessible without professional design software, via coded shortcuts built into the fonts.

Classification
