The Fleuron was a London typography journal published in 1923 at the Office of the Fleuron, a periodical of printing specimens made for printers and typographers. Its plates show decorative type ornaments, with ornamental initials, fleurons, scrolls and bordered title pages of the kind set beside type. A designer can take from them a range of historical ornament vocabulary, from dense foliate capitals to sparse black scrollwork and framed title-page borders.
