La vie est une fleur dont l'amour est le miel Fleur is the french for flower and I've chosen this language for a good reason.

Over the past 5 years, I've had the opportunity to travel a lot to Paris and I've always tried to catch every moment, and detail of this delightful city through the eyes of the designer inside me.

More Paris is full of surprises mainly for us, artists. In fact, I believe the city is a museum itself. Every corner of any street has something inspiring. But, theres something I particularly love and I want to address here: The Palais Garnier.

Built between 1861 and 1875, this opera house is a dream made true for many of us, who love somptuosité.

Garnier, the architect of this magnificient building, said that the style he proposed was not Grecian nor Roman/baroque, he created something new and called it Napoleonic: Luxurious at its best.

Fleur is inspired in this palace which, in fact, has some similar letters inside.

Garnier put his name at the ceiling of the Rotonde des Abonnés: Letters are interlacing each other with nicely done art nouveau curves.

I thought I could take this idea and achieve something very delicate and imposing at the same time if the font consisted entirely of caps with the logic of a didone and a bit of art-nouveau.

This mix of elegance and flamboyance gave birth to Fleur which has a wide range of uses but was mainly intended for perfumes, fashion magazines, storefronts, book covers or logos.

Not only you'll find many decorative glyphs, but also a vast amount of unique ligatures will make you really adore this font.

Get Fleur and profite de la vie. TECHNICAL As suggested above, the font has many open-type coded alternates and a vast amount of unique ligatures.

Install the font in applications that support them, like Adobe Illustrator of Photoshop.

Bordonaro Spur - Bordonaro Scripts partner - is a typography strongly influenced by old beer labels and includes some serifs based on Frederic W.

Goudys Copperplate, but with some softened spurs adding an elegant and soft texture to the text.

It is ideal to be used on large bodies and has a set of special ligatures ideal to be used in branding: Co = company1 Co = company2 Estd = established More Inc = incorporated Ltd = limited Mc = mac Rd = Road St = street And also from Adobe CC you can activate Style Sets (SS) and get ideal ligatures for ordinal numbers: 1st = st 2nd = nd 3rd = rd 4th = th Bordonaro Script and Bordonaro Spur are two typographic styles that were designed under the same characteristic features with the idea of combining them to obtain better results, for that reason, we recommend merging them in a creative way and you will realize everything you can design with them.

The banners designs are based on old brands of beer labels, coffee packaging, sports logos and in some cases we use Copperplate Gothic but only as a complementary font in order to harmonize the layout of the elements in each banner.

Bordonaro Script - Bordonaro Spurs partner - is an interpretation of the English Roundhand style with a strong influence by the logos of American basketball and baseball teams.

It is designed from simple shapes ideal to be used in long titles and fits perfectly into the branding design.

Bordonaro has a complete set of special and original characters: Stylistic Ligatures, Discretionary Ligatures, Swashes, Contextual Alternates, Titling, ss01,ss02, ss03 & apostrophes' ligatures that work as complements to enrich the text composition.

Katana is 21st-century script typeface that thrives with energy. Its stylised letterforms feature a strong slant: about 40°, or more than twice the amount of slant found in a typical italic font.

Katanas angularity expresses an aura that combines the small refined details of calligraphy with the vibrancy of large-format graffiti lettering.

Unusual for a script typeface, Katana has multiple weights available; there are five in the family, and they range from Light through Bold.

As one shuffles from each weight to the next, the level of stroke contrast increases.

While Katanas Light weight is monolinear, the Bold weight has extremely hight contrast between its thick and thin strokes, which dials up the fonts dynamic-feeling even more.

The heavier weights clearly look like their letterforms have been written with broad pens or brushes, and the heaviest font looks like a techno-style design crossed with the work of a traditional sign-painter.

Each member of the Katana family has lining figures as its fonts default numeral style, but there are also oldstyle figures available through an OpenType feature.

Plus, each font includes about 26 alternate glyphs, substituted into the text whenever the contextual alternates feature is active.

Katana is a great addition to an editorial designers toolkit. It comes from Parimal Parmar, a designer in Ahmedabad/India.

Dirk is a strong, heavy slab serif meant for large, attention grabbing display use. Dirks design lives somewhere between a Clarendon wood type style and a more modern geometric slab serif.

It features the bracketed serifs, large x-height, and short ascenders/descenders of a Clarendon design, but drawn with the precision curves and smooth, sturdy structure of a geometric slab.

The result retains the charm of wood type, but sheds a lot of the over-familiarity and sameness of a digital revival.

Dirk is available in both a clean, Black weight as well as a Stencil version.

Each styles feature a full Western, Central, and South Eastern European character set.
