This family was created inspired from a lot of 1848-1850 French engraved documents reproducing handwritten texts talking about the Paris’ insurrection days in June 1848( described by Victor Hugo in “Les miserables”) . It seems that all were first written using quill pens, as the strokes are too much heavy and bold for metal pens and even though the engraver work is very fine.
We have added only a few characters, most of them were present in the originals. The TTF and OTF versions are enriched with more than 50 ligatures or alternate characters.
