Fleurons of Hope is a font created as part of Font Aid III to benefit the victims of the South Asian tsunami of 2004, an effort coordinated by SOTA. It is no longer available on myfonts.com, but can be found packaged with Building Letters Three. I collected the images of crop circles and type ornaments as research for an old project. They share rotational symmetry, and express the awesome power and inscrutability of nature—in one case mystical, the other terrible. Skeptics and hearts-of-stone: stay quiet and enjoy the pretty.
