I got so distracted by the web site I&#8217;ve been working on (by the way, user interface design is a lot of fun) that I almost forgot to do my design of the day. Can you believe it? Hehe. Well, today I did another drop cap. It didn&#8217;t take any effort to come up with what to do. It of course took a lot of effort to come up with how I would make the drop cap but not assign myself a drop cap. Know what I mean?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, sorry, today I wanted to blend two features that I like in typography: the blossoming of old Western block lettering (I just invented the term of &#8220;blossoming&#8221;) and non-vertical axises. So today&#8217;s G has the blossoming on the sides and has a -45 degree axis. I&#8217;m not sure if I would do this again in a type. I think they counteract each other but it was a fun experiment nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-162\" title=\"G Drop cap\" src=\"http:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/dropcap_g.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/dropcap_g.gif 580w, https:\/\/v2.shelbymoulden.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/dropcap_g-300x206.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever fall in love with an aspect of a typeface and want to combine it with another typeface characteristic that you like?
