Author's note

DS Init by Nikolay Dubina of D-Studio in Moscow is a free Celtic initials font built around dark serif capitals framed by intricate knotwork. The square ornamental borders twist into loops, curls, and interlaced bands.

Celtic and medieval manuscript themes make it a convincing choice for fantasy posters, historical event materials, and game merchandise. In publishing, each framed capital can function as an illustrated chapter opener, linking the lettering directly to decorative page borders.
