uite the addition to my site, if I do say so. Courtesy of Jessica Hische at Daily Drop Cap. They’re all pretty sweet, but that Q up there to start this post is my favorite so far. Thanks, Jessica.

A drop cap is also called an Initial:

In a written work, an initial is a letter at the beginning of a work, a chapter or a paragraph that is larger than the rest of the text. The word comes from the Latin initialis, which means standing at the beginning. It is often several lines in height and in older books or manuscripts sometimes ornately decorated.
