Author's note

Moonlit Horta font is a free retro display font by Yves Michel with a whimsical, fantasy-inspired style. Its decorative elements and elegant overall look remind us of the distant but never forgotten Art Nouveau style. The typeface holds an artistic flair and mystical vibe that make its appearance feel versatile for both contemporary and vintage projects. The question marks, quotes, exclamation points, or dollar signs also look fancy and rich in detail!

Use Moonlit Horta in advertising projects involving poster design and modern packaging branding that holds a retro touch. Some other ideas are products like T-shirts or mugs and visual content such as videos, movie titles, book covers, magazine covers etc. Websites can also make great use of this font - blog names/headers as well as product page highlights always have room for more creativity!

Description
La période aux alentours de 1900 a produit les impressionnistes en peinture et l’ Art Nouveau en architecture et graphisme. J’ai toujours admiré la police de caractères Arnold Boecklin qui illustre remarquablement cette époque.
J’ai donc voulu créer une police dans cet esprit, sans tomber dans la copie ou l’imitation trop facile. Je l’ai nommée Victor Horta, en hommage à notre grand architecte belge, disciple d’Eugène Viollet-le Duc, précurseur de l’Art Nouveau.
J'en ai tiré la présente police "au clair de lune".
_____________

The period around 1900 produced the Impressionists in painting and Art Nouveau in architecture and graphic design. I have always admired the Arnold Boecklin typeface, which is a remarkable illustration of this era.
So I wanted to create a font in this spirit, without falling into copying or imitating it too easily. I named it Victor Horta, in tribute to our great Belgian architect, a disciple of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, a precursor of Art Nouveau. The present derived font is "in the moonlight".
