f: Yeah, but spacing problems will abound! Maybe you extend the crossbar to fill the space, or just drop the tail low. More complete showing p 129.

If you used some good kerning it might not be so bad, since there aren't any lc letters with a hole at the top-right. The only real problem would be "Af".

Dropping the tail low would just make it boring.

Thanks a lot, David!

FYI, in De Vinne's "The Practice of Typography: Title Pages" (1902) I ran into a page by Moreau:

This is too funny, and so typical:
I'd never heard of Moreau before, but now that Randy has pointed him out the guy's coming out of the woodwork! On Wednesday I found the thing in De Vinne, today I found this sample form Marius Audin's "Histoire de l'Imprimerie" of 1972:



The useful thing (for somebody considering a revival of this script) is that Audin mentions two works by Moreau using it: his "L'Imitation de J

Looks like a font that P22 would love.

Pierre Simon Fournier had a similar hand script. Some
digital interpretations include Chanson d'Amor and Batarde Coulee.

And I should probably mention the quaint Fournier Italic itself.
He must have been influenced by Moreau.
