Portculliard Initials

by Paul Lloyd · Website

Portculliard Initials is an ornamental initials font by Paul Lloyd, featuring uppercase letterforms enclosed in decorative medieval frames with blackletter styling. Each character carries the dense, Gothic quality of illuminated manuscript capitals, making it a natural choice for drop caps, chapter openings, and historical or fantasy-themed design. The framing gives every letter a self-contained, stamp-like presence that works best at large sizes where the ornamental detail can really come through.
