A revival of an ornate display typeface sourced from an 1882 illustrated pomology compendium, split across three subfamilies to enable two-colour layered initial capitals.
About
The design preserves the roughness of the original scan rather than smoothing it out, lending an authentic period texture. Three subfamilies serve distinct purposes: Headline for setting text, NoSwashes for the base layer of initials, and Swashes for the decorative overlay, requiring a layering-capable application such as Adobe Illustrator to achieve the two-tone effect.
Classification
A decorative display typeface revived from a 19th-century pomology compendium, featuring ornate swash initials and intentional textural roughness characteristic of Victorian illustrated printing.
