Ornamental Initial

by Manfred Klein · Website

Ornamental Initial is an elaborate initials font from Manfred Klein, featuring densely decorated capital letters with rich flourishes and vintage detailing reminiscent of medieval illuminated manuscripts. Each character is heavily ornamented, so it's strictly a display face meant for drop caps, chapter openings, and decorative headings where a single letter needs to carry real visual presence. Klein was known for his prolific output of historical and decorative typefaces, and this one sits comfortably among his best ornamental work.
