The Arnold Böcklin is the most famous Art Nouveau font, it is characterized by floral forms of Art Nouveau. The publication has been produced for use in larger font sizes. Here the decorative appearance was more important than readability.

That makes this work until today very popular when a wall marking a decorative font is desired, it is an advertising Address outside. At a shop or a restaurant, as well as purely decorative lettering in the house

The magazine had a great significance for the book design of Art Nouveau. Experienced a renaissance the font in the 1960s and 1970s, when Art Nouveau design became fashionable again. They also influenced the illustrations by British artist Roger Dean, as well as more recently the work of Stuckists Paul Harvey (* 1960).

Owner of the trademark "Arnold Böcklin" for this font is Linotype font manufacturers, but many font manufacturers have their own versions under different names in the program. Adobe's OpenType version of the font support Adobe ISO-2, Adobe CE and Latin Extended character sets.

but I told myself that you can still beat, and in my Böcklin Universe really ALL Latin enhancements, including phonetics, Africa Alfabet, Vietnamese and UNZ1 ligatures, as well as probably the first time a truly complete Cyrillic character set, including all extensions created. Even a complete Greek character set, and all extensions is included!
