Author's note

Griffin Two, designed by D. Rakowski, is a free Gothic initials font built from dense forms and curling ornament. Each letter feels carved and theatrical. Leaflike hooks, teardrop cutouts, and sharp sweeping tips create an elaborate silhouette with a strong medieval-fantasy flavor.

Its heraldic drama suits book covers and fantasy games. Boutique packaging gains a hand-cut, emblematic look from the same ornament. In branding, the interwoven flourishes can function as a custom emblem.
