Codex

by Emerald City Fontwerks · Website

Codex is an ornamental initials font from Emerald City Fontwerks, with each uppercase letter enclosed in an intricate circular frame that recalls the decorated capitals of medieval manuscripts. The geometric precision of the surrounding ornament contrasts nicely with the letterforms inside, giving it a structured, almost architectural quality. Strictly a display face, best used for drop caps, chapter openings, or anywhere a single letter needs to carry serious visual weight.
