Hans Holbein's Decorative Initials Font
Author's note
Hans Holbein's Decorative Initials by Errance is a free Gothic initial font built from densely illustrated letter blocks. Tall capitals rise through scenes of figures, foliage, animals, and curling ornament, all rendered with the rough ink texture of old woodcut printing.
Its clearest role is in publishing, where a chapter opening can become part letter and part historical illustration. The same intricate squares suit museum graphics, period event materials, and dramatic packaging, especially for subjects rooted in Renaissance art or early printing, and designers drawn to antique books will appreciate lettering that behaves like a small narrative image.
