Author's note

Simplicity No2 by PJL is a free medieval blackletter initial font built from broad, sweeping curves and hard, folded-looking angles. Its letters resemble ribbon or cut paper, with dark masses broken by narrow white channels. The result is ornate and theatrical, yet the shapes retain a crisp graphic edge.

In publishing, it suits chapter openings and fantasy book covers. The same carved-paper silhouette links historical game menus, heraldic event posters, and fantasy merchandise through their shared ribbon curves and heraldic, emblem-like form.
