Morris Jenson Initialen Regular Font

Author's note

Morris Jenson Initialen is an initials font that contains many of William Morris' (1834-1896) famous initial letters of his Kelmscott Press. To my knowledge the upper case (A-Z) key initials were never digitised before, note the unusual letter E. I scanned them from a font specimen sheet. The lower case (a-z) key initials are well known. There are also ornaments and more initials variations among other keys of the font. This is to date the most complete collection of Morris' Jenson Initials. This font is public domain, free for all uses, commercial and private.
