Looks like an illuminated letter. The first letter of the first page in a chapter in old books was often dropcased and very ornate (old Bibles are a good example).
Look here, or search for "Illuminated Letters Font". posted by JeremiahBritt at 6:45 AM on October 17, 2007
Also called Illumintated Initials. posted by JeremiahBritt at 6:46 AM on October 17, 2007
Argh, that's "Drop Cap" not "drop case". posted by JeremiahBritt at 6:51 AM on October 17, 2007
I've been trawling all typography resources I can find on the net, with no luck! Including looking for Illuminated and Ornate initials :(
Maybe it's not a font at all, but just a graphic creation with different elements... which is a shame because I really love it! posted by Andorinha at 7:20 AM on October 17, 2007
Unlikely that it's a typeface but If you like that you could look somewhere like here for similar pieces you could combine? posted by twistedonion at 7:50 AM on October 17, 2007
This isn't identical, but this font: Ruritania has lot's of nice filigree. posted by cusack at 8:02 AM on October 17, 2007
I don't see that exact version, but House of Lime has a font called Ornamental Initials L with a lot of similar characters. They offer many ornate fonts like your example -- and they're free linkware. posted by junkbox at 8:06 AM on October 17, 2007
Junkbox, you are spot on! It's one of the initials, with another L superimposed!
Cusack, Ruritania might be just right!
Cheers everyone! posted by Andorinha at 9:47 AM on October 17, 2007
