Daily Drop Cap
ith the increase of digital formats on which to consume written media it seems to some like physical books are becoming things of the past. While I don’t agree with this I do agree that things are changing, and fast. It’s always nice however to see people who are keeping it old school and taking design and typography back to some of it’s roots. It’s in this spirit that the daily drop cap was created.
Every weekday Jessica Hische posts another drool inducing initial cap not only for us to admire but to use as well. Along with each post is the code to use her beautiful typographic work, as we are doing in this post. She is also offering a VERY limited (2 prints total) run of her first Daily Drop Cap alphabet as a two color letterpress print.
Love Jessica’s stuff. This is such radical and ambitious example of open-source for design. Or is it open-sourcish, since she doesn’t actually give up the illustrator file.
Jessica is my new alpha-open source-radtastic friend (in my head).
Just like you Lloyd!
