Author's note

Royal2 is a free ornamental initial font built around lavishly engraved letterforms with a stately silhouette. Sweeping curves, sharp inner strokes, and dense leaflike flourishes give the capitals the richness of old book decoration.

Publishing is its clearest setting, especially for chapter openings and historical editions. It also suits invitations, certificates, and heritage packaging that benefit from an ornate, ceremonial mark. The curling foliage can connect directly with botanical borders or engraved illustrations, turning each initial into part of the artwork.
