Paulus Franck Initialen

by Dieter Steffmann · Website

Paulus Franck Initialen is an ornamental initials font by Dieter Steffmann, based on the elaborate engraved letterforms of the 16th-century calligrapher Paulus Franck. Each uppercase character is densely decorated with flourishes and fine linework in the style of Renaissance woodcut initials, requiring large sizes to let the intricate detail come through. A natural choice for drop caps, chapter openings, and historical design work where you want something with genuine period authenticity.
