Author's note

Absinth Flourishes I, credited to Absinth, Fonts Anon~, and OMEGA Labs, is a free ornamental dingbat font built from sweeping botanical forms. Its black silhouettes combine curling tendrils, leaflike shapes, droplets, and compact floral emblems. Some ornaments stretch into broad symmetrical flourishes, whereas others read as small decorative marks.

The curling plant motifs can extend floral illustration in invitation borders and decorative packaging. Their mixture of long horizontal ornaments and compact symbols also suits book covers and event posters with an Art Nouveau direction. It is most convincing when the ornament itself becomes the central emblem.
