The Daily Drop Cap Reaches "Z"

Download and enjoy 26 illustrated initials.
Written by Terri Stone on January 14, 2010

In September 2009, typographer and illustrator Jessica Hische began an online project called the Daily Drop Cap. Every business day, Jessica posted another gorgeous illustrated initial and encourage viewers to use the letters on their own sites. Sadly, yesterday was brought to you by the letter "Z".

Small versions of all 26 drop caps are below. To download the original sizes and to see the usage limitations, go to Daily Drop Cap.
