Botanical Scribe was designed by Brian Willson and published by 3 Islands Press. Botanical Scribe consists of 1 design. p >' The Raphael of Flowers' is what they called Pierre-Joseph Redouté a couple a century ago. The Belgian native ended up being popular in France, where he painted flower watercolors for both Marie Antoinnette and Empress Josephine. However what cemented his tradition was his excellence of a stipple inscription technique that brought his art to the masses. Botanical Scribe is modeled after the neat, cursive hand-inscribed legends on these antique prints. Since it simulates handlettering, the typeface retains a warm, natural quality not seen in expensive contemporary scripts while staying both classy and understandable. (Its numerous ligatures provides to this credibility.) Great for official invitations or historical simulations.
