Description

Author's note

This font is inspired by and digitized from an exercise in penmanship from "The Zanerian Manual of Alphabets and Engrossing," a book digitized by David Grimes.

The uppercase letters are quite faithfully rendered, while the rest, including lowercase letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols, are my creations.

The French Caf-concert, also known as "Caf chantant," was a type of musical establishment, equivalent to the English "music-hall." The Golden Age of the "caf'conc'\" occurred around 1900, during the "Belle Époque," a period celebrated for the flourishing of Art Nouveau, which this font seeks to illustrate.
