Capo 1880
Capo 1880 is an ornate Victorian initial font based on types cut around 1880 by the Cincinnati Type Foundry, with curling strokes and gothic-flavored capitals built for drop caps. It has one weight and capitals only, so use single letters or very short words at large sizes and leave the rest to a plain text face.
