Œ in french school scripts

Sascha Timplan's picture

Hi everybody,

I have a general designquestion that is more related to native french speakers and writers. I'm doing a small research on school scripts and i want to know what is the tought or prefered Version of the /OE, especially the uppercase version in french school. I made some combination which you can see in the picture, but i don't know which one is the right one.

Thank You.

Hi Sascha,

French school books completely avoid this question: the alphabet showings never contain this glyph. As far as I know, it is just two capitals letters, very tightly spaced, sometimes even touching. Hence, something like your #4 for a cursive style, or #5 in a ‘blockier’ style.

Hey Florian,

this was actually my question. I never saw it in any french book and even a french friend of mine couldn#t tell me the right answer. Weird.

Thank you.
