Entry Description

A modular font comprised of 3 sets of the standard western alphabet of 26 letters.

The font presents a contemporary take on illuminated historiated initials which brings them into the 21st century. Each letter, as in its medieval predecessors, presents a visual narrative, but, instead of biblical scenes, it depicts pictures of traffic jams, fast food, weapons and cell phones — an ironic, but incisive, portrait of our era.
