Daily Drop Cap

I
t's a fairly basic design rule of thumb to use decorative fonts sparingly. Getting trigger happy with them can turn a great design into a circus faster than you can say "Rosewood." So why is it that I want to plaster my walls with these stunning drop caps from illustrator and typographer Jessica Hirsche? I just discovered on Swiss Miss that each day, Jessica shares a new hand-crafted decorative initial cap on her site Daily Drop Cap. This is part of her effort to beautify blog posts everywhere—a noble act indeed. I'm increasingly convinced that good typography makes the world go round. Enjoy the eye candy.
