Featured Font: Chaillot

Chaillot is based on 12th century gothic calligraphy which has some characteristics of early black letter calligraphy and stylistic holdovers from late Carolingian lettering. It is a very bold and distinctive calligraphic style with unusual decorations and flourishes. Chaillot is one of our oldest fonts and was originally released in 1994. This updated version has additional characters and replaces the smallcaps in the original design with a customized true lowercase character set in the style of the capital letters of the original font. The demo version includes only the original uppercase and smallcaps. The new lowercase is only available in this new edition of the font.You can try the DEMO version of Chaillot for free. Or you can ORDER the full version for only $24 online and download it right away.
