CDuflosPro

Historical Elegance

CDuflos Pro is a refined calligraphic typeface inspired by the exquisite lettering of Claude Duflos, the renowned French engraver and printmaker active at the end of the 17th century.

Refined Craftsmanship

Duflos was celebrated for his beautifully engraved plates, meticulously executed with the graver and distinguished by their clarity, balance, and elegant rhythm. At the heart of his work lies a highly legible lettering style, carefully drawn with a distinctive ductus that reflects the sophistication of French writing traditions of the period.

Classic Roots

During this era, three major writing styles emerged in France: Ronde (derived from Civilité), Lettre Italienne, and Bâtarde Coulée, a flowing variation of ronde. The joined-letter hand, designed for faster writing, later became the foundation for the English Round Hand and the classic Copperplate style. CDuflos Pro is a contemporary typographic interpretation of this historical lettering, translating its grace and structure into a versatile digital font suitable for modern design needs.

Rich OpenType Features

The typeface includes a rich set of OpenType features, such as ligatures, stylistic alternates, expressive swashes, and elegant terminal letters, allowing designers to create authentic and dynamic compositions. It also comes with a curated collection of ornaments and diacritics supporting Central European languages, expanding its usability across international projects.

Timeless Applications

Perfect for branding, editorial design, invitations, certificates, packaging, book covers, logos, and luxury-inspired projects, CDuflos Pro brings historical elegance and classical craftsmanship into contemporary typography.
