Romantique Initials
===================
VERSION
Version 1.000 (initial 2007 release), based on an alphabet design by Aridi.

LICENSE
Possessor is granted license to do anything at all with this font, including but not limited to unlimited use, unlimited copying, decompilation, modification, redistribution, with the single exception that no use shall be made of this that is illegal, immoral, or fattening.
This font is a free font and webfont. It is catagorized by some leading font repositories as a Public Domain font, as it is, but despite the absence of an actual Copyright statement, and because there are stipulations on its use which limit use (if only barely, theoretically, or even just in jest), Font-Journal categorizes this as a Free font.
FONT DESCRIPTION
This font offers 54 codepoints in 53 glyphs. This is a highly decorative, all caps, uncial style, floral display font, but the upper and lower case letters are different. Although this is a handcrafted drawn uncial style monogram/initials font with capitals only, the uppercase and lowercase are negative impressions of the other, allowing creative manipulation such as combining the two cases as layers to offer a two color font. This font offers a relatively uniform letter width, but it isn't a fixed width font because the space is half the width of the characters. No numerals or punctuation. The relative height and width is nearly sqarish, but not quite, though that could easily be addressed in any program that allows typographic control. I want to to call the floral embellishments are crafted in a baroque decorative style, but it is probably more victorian.

AUTHORING DESIGNER
The author/artist of this digital font is listed only as "Character" with no known contact information. The original design is by Aridi, although no actual contact information is provided with the font distribution archive, I think I can reasonably assume that is the graphic letterforms found at:

CAUTION!
However, please be aware that this link given above is an external link that I cannot trust as completely safe, as I am getting a report from Defender that it has been reported as not safe. Visit the link above at your own risk. However, I had no issue (but I did not download anything).
Fortunately, the actual font archive has been scanned for virueses and IS found to be safe.
THIS SECTION FROM THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION, BY THE AUTHORING DESIGNER:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
RomantiqueInitials
The upper and lower case of each character can be combined to form a two-color character.
The space is exactly one-half the width of any of the initials.
The letterforms themselves were created from scanned images of a graphic alphabet designed by Aridi. The originals, in full color .eps and .bmp, are available from Aridi.

I also design fonts myself. I am setting up LastNational.com to feature some of the fonts I have created, but as of this writing & updating this archive, I'm still working on that website updated. Still, you can find most of them on my Font-Journal.com font repository, if you look me up:
