To create FF Elegie, Albert Boton studied the handwriting of famous painters from the end of the 19th up through the beginning of the 20th century, such as Auriol, Benjamin Rabié, Mucha, and Lautrec. During that time, Japanese art was being discovered in the West, which resulted in many of these painters writing with brushes. Albert Boton did his first drawings for FF Elegie in 1993, with a Brause ink pen. The result is a lively handwritten family with Roman, Italic, Swash and Ornament styles. An Élégie is tender and solemn poetry, though it could also refer to vocal music by the French composer Alfred Leslie Satie, also known as Erik Satie.
