It may be preferable, if possible, when printing, to choose a pale color - dark grey instead of heavy black, for exemple - to give a good appearance, just like the real one, and still benefit from the full details.

With inkjet printers, it may be used the economic or draft option with a good result too.

The old typewriter characters size is 11 or 12 points, but this font supports easily enlargement.

Download 1848 Barricades Font Family

This family was inspired from a lot of 1848-1850 French engraved documents reproducing handwritten texts talking about the Paris' insurrection days in June 1848 (described by Victor Hugo in Les misrables) .

It seems that all were first written using quill pens, as the strokes are too much heavy and bold for metal pens and even though the engraver work is very fine.

We have added only a few characters, most of them were present in the originals.

The TTF and OTF versions are enriched with more than 50 ligatures or alternate characters.
