Author's note

Hemingway Deco Initials, designed by Alessandro Segalini of ITF, is a free Art Deco initials font built around tall, slender capitals with lightly irregular outlines. Each letter sits inside a fine rectangular frame and rests on a small curved underline, combining hand-drawn strokes with the crisp geometry of a vintage monogram.

Literary themes and early twentieth-century imagery make it especially apt for book covers, cultural event posters, and period-inspired packaging. The framed letters can function as individual badges or a run of decorative initials, a useful device for publishers, boutique drinks brands, and venues seeking a cultured, slightly theatrical period identity.
