Author's note

Fleur Corner Caps font by Lime is a free gothic initials typeface. Each letter sits in a dense black square like a tiny illuminated panel, with crisp white forms carved out and tangled with curling vines, teardrop leaves, and small star-like blooms. The result feels like a fragment torn from a medieval manuscript-ornate, moody, and richly textured-yet clean enough to drop straight into digital layouts without fuss.

Using Fleur Corner Caps, you can create striking drop caps for book chapters, fantasy novels, or fairytale zines, as well as richly framed initials on invitations, certificates, wine labels, and branding for artisanal products. This free font shines when used sparingly at large sizes, letting the intricate corners and floral details breathe. Pair it with a simple serif or understated sans for body copy to keep the ornate initials as the main visual accent.
