Goudy Initials

From Lanston Type Company

LTC Goudy Initials is a decorative family of floriated letterforms. They were initially designed by Frederic W. Goudy in the early 1900s. Miranda Roth has meticulously redrawn them, referencing large, original proofs of Cloister Initials. Imagine these as sumptuous drop caps in a chapter book, adding beautiful texture on letterpress-printed invitations, or adding rich details cleverly stacked for use on wine bottle packaging.

Designed by Frederic W. Goudy & Miranda Roth Kirchmeyer
