Author's note

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 Eugne Viollet-le-Duc, a precursor of Art Nouveau. The present derived font is embossed and lit from the left upper side.

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 embossée et éclairée en haut à gauche
