Gingerbread Initials Font
Author's note
Gingerbread Initials by Dieter Steffmann of Typographer Mediengestaltung is a free ornamental initials font with a distinctly Victorian air. Its broad, outlined letters are packed with looping curls, leaflike flourishes, and tiny star accents.
Fairy tales and period fantasy are an easy match for this elaborate lettering. It can turn book covers, confectionery packaging, and holiday invitations into decorative objects rather than simple text. The storybook detail is especially suited to children's publishers and makers of nostalgic sweets.
