Cadence

This character is a revival of an ornamental metal type font, which comes from a type specimen of the French typefoundry Jules Didot printed in 1842 (Spécimen de la nouvelle fonderie de Jules Didot l’ainé - boulevard d’Enfer, n°4, à Paris. - Paris - imprimé par Béthune et Plon, rue de Vaugirard, n°36 - 1842). The ornamental metal type font may have been designed earlier in the 1830s. 

The typeface is made of three versions (Cadence 1, 2 and 3) intended to be combined by the the user to make patterns, through association and superimposition. These fonts are designed to be used at rather large sizes in order to appreciate the details’ delicacy (55 pts in the character’s specimen).
