Arabesque Initialen

by Dieter Steffmann · Website

Arabesque Initialen is an ornamental initials font by Dieter Steffmann, featuring elaborately decorated capital letters surrounded by dense floral and arabesque patterning. Each character is a miniature piece of illustration, clearly inspired by the decorated initials found in medieval and early Renaissance manuscripts. Strictly a display face for drop caps, chapter openers, and decorative headings where the intricate detail can be appreciated at generous sizes.
