This capital “F” is suitable for use as a drop cap (dropped capital) or a decorative initial; there’s also a small version for an avatar or icon. It is taken from a 16th century alphabet, and shows a bird, perhaps a pigeon or dove, and a flower, drawn like a Tudor rose but maybe closer to a daffodil. |
