While researching typographic ornaments I came across Fleurons. Fleurons are a typographic element, or glyph, used either as a punctuation mark or as an ornament for typographic compositions. Fleurons are typically stylized flowers, leaves, or decorative swirling symetrical designs. They have a french influence and were used predominantly to seperate paragraphs and to fill the white spaces in paragraphs.
