Kochs Long Caps Squares

by Manfred Klein · Website

Kochs Long Caps Squares is a decorative initials font from Manfred Klein, with each uppercase letter set inside a solid square block in an inverted (light-on-dark) style. The letterforms themselves reference the tradition of Rudolf Koch's distinctive hand-lettered capitals, giving the set a crafted, early-20th-century sensibility despite the rigid framing. Best used as drop caps, monograms, or decorative headers where the boxed format can anchor a layout with quiet graphic authority.
