Wrenn Initials Condensed

Wrenn Initials Condensed, from PJL, is a free curly initials font with a fin-de-siecle feel. The letters pair tall, tapering strokes with looping side flourishes, so the font reads like formal monogram lettering rather than a standard display set.

It fits invitations, bookplates, certificates, wine labels, and title pages where a single letter or a few initials need an old-world accent. As a free font, it also works for drop caps, cover lines, and monograms, because those long curls give even short settings a ceremonious, engraved mood.
