Leafyshade Font

Leafyshade by West Wind Fonts is a free botanical gothic initials font with a tangle of vine-like curls and leaf tips worked deep into the letters. The alphabet feels rooted in illuminated manuscript lettering, with dark black forms wrapped in ornamental growth so the caps read more like decorated emblems than plain characters.

This free font fits projects that want a medieval, storybook accent: book covers, fantasy posters, wedding stationery, chapter openers, and monograms all make sense here. Keep it to brief display work, title cards, or drop caps, where the dense leafy ornament has room to do its job and the letters can act as imagery as much as text.
