Strelsau
========

Black letter meets high Victorian, with interesting results I
think :) Yet another of my fonts named out of the novel "Prisoner of
Zenda - which of course itself is a piece of high Victorian folly.


Petra described this one as what a 16th century 'Circus' face would look like.
It certainly lives up to that impression. The truth is a little more prosaic...
a 19th vcentury printer's Fraktur revival, but in either case, a very very
impressive face to behold, and quite the thing for titles in the appropriate
document.

I can see this one on the title page of an historical novel published in
Victorian times.
