The printer’s flowers (fleurons) contained in these Fontographer v3.2 files are modeled on those found in John Ryder’s “A Suite of Fleurons” (Charles T. Branford, Boston, Massachusetts, 1957). Most all of the flowers date from the 18th century.
This typeface of fleurons contains the greater majority of those found in Ryder’s book. I have generated them in sizes from 10- to 36-points. The 36-point size is the maximum size at which these flowers should be used.
Some can be used “as-is”. Others are meant to reflected and rotated in a program like Freehand or Illustrator. The accompanying Illustrator file shows all of the characters and indicates some ways of using them.
