ChristensenCaps Regular Font

Christensen Caps font by David Rakowski is a free gothic initials typeface that turns every capital letter into a miniature illustration. Each square, ink-black tile frames a sweeping white letter wrapped in flourishes, leaves, and bead-like dots, giving your layout the feel of an illuminated manuscript. The bold contrast and dense decoration grab attention instantly, like a woodcut dropped onto the page.

Using Christensen Caps, you can mark chapter openings, storybook titles, fantasy posters, wedding invitations, certificates, or boutique branding with a single ornate initial. This free font works beautifully when you set just the first letter large, then follow with a clean serif or sans in a lighter weight to keep things readable and elegant.
