- Description: La police est inspirée – et digitalisée à partir – d’un exercice contenu dans ‘The Zanerian Manual of Alphabets and Engrossing”, ouvrage lui-même digitalisé par David Grimes (https://masgrimes.com/).
Les majuscules sont assez fidèlement retravaillées, j’ai imaginé et créé le reste — minuscules, chiffres, ponctuation et symboles.
Le café-concert est à la base un estaminet-salle de concert au XIXe siècle synonyme à l’époque au “music-hall” anglais. L’âge d’or du “caf’conc'” se situe aux alentours de 1900, la “Belle Époque”, celle de la floraison de l’Art Nouveau que cette fonte est censée illustrer.
__________________________________________________________
This font is inspired by – and digitized from – an exercise in penmanship from “The Zanerian Manual of Alphabets and Engrossing”, book digitized by David Grimes (https://masgrimes.com/).
The uppercase letters are quite faithfully rendered, the rest — lowercase, figures, punctuation and symbols — are my creation.
In the 19th century, the French Café-concert – also named “Café chantant” was a type of musical establishment, equivalent to the English “music-hall”. The Golden age of the “caf’conc'” is round 1900, the “Belle Époque”, also the time of the flowering of Art Nouveau, which this font tries to illustrate. - MD5: 368b4bc6eb41cca85e4aea78ed4b4259
