Question

This appears to be a fleuron, printer's mark or type decoration. Appears on cover of a genealogy book.

Comments

that would be my guess too. do you have a date of the publication or more information?

---

It is in a self-published genealogy book that is 10 years old. I know that the person who wrote the book used a word processor to create the book, so it likely a font she purchased specifically for the title page of the book.

I don’t know if this is helpful at all, but last week I noticed a similar looking fleuron on the movie poster of Les Misérables.

 

Answer 1

i found something quite similar not in a font, but on two other websites:

http://www.cityofamoryms.com/city-officials-committees/historical-preservation-committee/

https://dignity.monuments.com/?pc=40

this makes me think that it is a historic mark of some kind.

you might try nymphette. it isn’t the same but has the same simplicity and elegance.
