The Return of the Drop Cap
he Drop Cap has long been a handy tool in the designer’s tool box, adding a subtle flourish to a layout and lead-in interest to editorial. Its been used for centuries, but I can’t remember the last time I actually used one.
Well, to ensure the drop cap doesn´t become a lost art, illustrator Jessica Hische has started Daily Drop Cap – a tumblr blog dedicated this typographic art. Each day, Jessica posts a new hand-crafted decorative initial cap and generously provides the embed code for others to beautify their own blog and sites.
