Ciseaux was created by Robbie de Villiers and released by Wilton Foundry. Ciseaux consists of 1 design. p > Ciseaux was motivated and is devoted to the art of paper cutting.

Early paper cutting artists were typically royalty, but it quickly ended up being a folk art practiced by commoners whose cutouts decorated their houses. By the seventeenth century it had actually spread throughout the world. The Japanese called it Mon-kiri, the German's Scherenschnitte and Turkey even boasted a guild devoted to the art kind. In Poland the styles were traditionally in proportion and often utilized layers of colors to form pictorial collages. When Russian invaders taken scissors, villagers were found to cut their intricate designs with sheep shears! The art kind later on turned into cutting out intricate designs of nature scenes and people, commemorating unique occasions and even embellishing legal files.

Ciseaux letterforms imitate paper cutting art in its shapes with a rather loose and practically joyous rhythm. The total result is rather earthy and natural yet it has a component of sophistication that can not be neglected. Much like paper cutting, Ciseaux can be utilized for unique occasions like invitations, pamphlets, identities, dining establishment menus, and if you dare, some awesome looking paper graffiti.
