Merlot

by Type Sailor · Website

Merlot is a decorative initials font from Type Sailor, with ornamental uppercase letterforms that carry the flourished elegance of vintage serif typography. Each letter is detailed enough to stand on its own as a drop cap or opening initial, making it a natural choice for book chapters, wine labels, invitations, and editorial layouts where a single character needs to set the tone. The serif structure keeps things grounded even as the ornamentation adds richness.
