Author's note

SilhousOldfashion by M. Klein is a free historical silhouette dingbat font built from small scenes of people at work, in conversation, and around domestic objects. The figures have the clipped contours of cut-paper art, with dense shapes, wiry details, and occasional framed tableaux that resemble illustrations from an old storybook.

Period illustration is its clearest setting, making the collection useful for historical publishing, theatre posters, and heritage event graphics where a compact narrative image can replace a conventional ornament. Book covers are another natural home, especially for stories involving rural life, social customs, nineteenth-century adventure, or gently comic period drama.
