Gessele-Script is an elegant script font from the Art Nouveau period. The characters are unslanted and are drawn as if with a quill pen, with thick down strokes and thin up strokes. There's a complete alphabet in the font, as well as punctuation and numbers. There are no diacritics. There are also three extra characters: an alternate upper-case M will be found at ascii 229 on PCs, shift-option M on Macintosh; a final swash lower-case e at ascii 171 (option-e followed by option-e on Macintosh); and a final swash lower-case n at ascii 247 (option-n followed by option-n on Macintosh). The Macintosh keystrokes given apply to the System 7 keyboard mapping.
