A quick Google search using the term “flourish” gets different types of results. The word can refer to an extravagant gesture that’s meant to attract attention. Sometimes it can also pertain to an ornamental embellishment in writing. We’ve discussed the subject of typography with our articles on movie intertitles and the role of typography in graphic design. Now we’ll take a closer look at typographic flourishes.
Typographic flourishes are reminiscent of the Baroque period, where exaggerated motion and details are dominant. Two of the most beautiful characteristics of Baroque page design are ornate borders and typographic flourishes. They are often described as “curly bits added to make type look fancy.”
Honestly I really don't know if what is Typography, thanks to your blog, I now have an idea if what it is and for em this is wonderful. Keep providing nice post. God bless.
