Author's note

Absinthe FT Flourish by Franck Trebillac is a free decorative display font with exceptionally tall, narrow letters. Its sweeping hairlines curl into hooks and teardrop shapes, set against firm vertical strokes. Repeated inward curls give the alphabet an ornate Art Nouveau flavor.

Packaging is an especially convincing medium for this lettering, particularly on absinthe labels, luxury perfume boxes, and premium confectionery wrappers whose narrow panels suit its unusually elongated silhouette. It turns a product name into the brand's central ornament.
