Featured Font: Vergennes

Vergennes was originally released in 2001 and is a stylish font which combines a simple lower case character set with highly decorative calligraphic initials. It is based on samples of lettering collected in Germany in the early 1900s, though the style of the letters seems more typically French than characteristically German. Vergennes in more complex, but has characteristics in common with several of our other fonts. For comparison or possible companion fonts take a look at Linthicum, Prelude and Interlude.

You can try the DEMO version of
Vergennes for free. Or you can ORDER the full version for only $24 online and download it right away.
