Diane Script & Diane Script Première
Diane Script & Diane Script Première (2008, for FontHaus) are a revival of Diane, designed by Roger Excoffon in 1956. His initial version featured elaborate, swirly caps. A second, with simplified caps, was released later. Both versions are preserved in my revival, with Diane Script Première featuring the original caps. I added many characters not present in the original, including an ampersand, which was curiously missing. I designed two, one simplified and one fancy. Both are included in Diane Script Première.
