Different fonts give different feelings. A nice story-book from the old days would probably start the chapter with a capital letter in this style. Maybe you would write a biography and want to give the reader a perspective of that there is much to come. You will go way back in time. The letter has a feeling of life – the leaves giving an impression and describing how life turns out and grows every day. I wouldn’t mind writing one myself about life. Probably it would be a lot of sketches and designs and not too much text - but it would be great fun. Actually today’s bloggs are sorts of biographies. Niklas and I are talking about everyday things that we like… Maybe it’s more like a diary until we make a book out of it.
I think it is a great way to start off a book or story using this kind of style. Fonts really give a lot of character to the text that you would be reading. The writer should be concerned about the fact that this sets the mood.
So this might give you something to think of the next time you read a book. What does this font tell you…?
