Victorian Drop Cap Collection – Highly Embellished Antique Alphabets – CL Antique No.25
We’re breathing new life into antique type! This font is part of our growing collection of restored typefaces, carefully revived from original specimens in the Century Library archive. Each one is a direct translation of the past - scanned, cleaned up, and converted into a working font so you can actually use these historic letterforms, not just look at them. These aren’t modern interpretations or redesigns. What you see is what was once printed - charming imperfections and all. The character set is limited to what was available in the original source material, which varies from font to font. Perfect for adding an authentic vintage feel to your designs - whether you're working on a book cover, a poster, branding, or just something personal - these fonts carry all the texture, age, and personality you'd expect from type that’s over a century old.
