Museum Initials
Some words from Wundes:
Museum is the Wundes foundry’s first font revival. These letter forms are scanned from the engravings of Freeman Delamotte who in 1879 published a spectacular set of ancient and mediaeval ornamental alphabets. The original forms for this font were created in 1490, a few years before Columbus discovered America.
There was not much information on the origin of this font, save that it came from a British museum, hence the name.
The original character set was missing the letters J,P,V and W so I've constructed these letters in the same style to complete the alphabet.
Other than those 4 additions, the engravings are true to their original forms.
