I love the traditional French biscuits made on the French west coast where Loire meets Atlantic.
The biscuits are thin, crunchy, light, not too large, not very sweet, melt on the tongue, and biscuits very like the original can be made/baked quite easily.
The traditional version has a limited range of letters, enough to write the name of town, manufacturer and product. I've been unsuccessful in finding an image of the font which contributed just a few letters to decorate these biscuits.
I spent some time looking at other type of the Victorian/Art Nouveau era until I had collected enough information to help me design the missing letters. I added the French diacritics, naturally. I think my additions look successful and the whole font looks quite Art Neauveau and in the style used originally.
The square brackets [ and ] make a biscuit shape when used 'blank'.
Bon appetit, enjoy your "Biscuit de l'Ouest".

Looks delicious!
Thank you Mr Meek. The best aspect about this font: you save a cool 440 kcal per 100 grams of letters ;)
Added basic punctuation and French diacrititcs as promised. Now the square brackets side by side give a biscuit shape for extra crunch. The parent font with extended character sets will soon be available for commercial work.
Une trés grand police ici, je dis.
@ elmo: ohhh, que encontró la galleta! La muestra es delicioso, muchas gracias!
I have aligned spurs and crossbars (not on 5,6,9), changed the crossbar serifs (e,f), and changed the width of m,p,r,w,0,8. Are there any other problem areas?

Thank you Mr. Meek :)
Tasty and ornate glyphs, also love the outline biscuit dingbat.
Thank you four :) I am working on a few more 'biscuits' to add.
I placed the letters on the base line and lowered other glyphs. There was no logic in keeping all glyphs at the height for use with the crunchy version's UC ;)
