Home › Dearest Open
Dearest Open is an ornate Old English blackletter built around decorative initial capitals, all rendered in an open, outlined style rather than filled solid. The gothic body letters keep their dense vertical strokes and pointed terminals, while the capitals bloom with medieval flourishes, curls, and fine inner detail. Tracing the forms as outlines gives the whole face a lighter, more delicate feel than a typical heavy blackletter.
Those elaborate caps make Dearest Open a natural pick for wedding invitations, certificate borders, vintage signage, and the grand drop caps that open storybook chapters or formal announcements. It pairs well with simpler body text so the ornament stands out. The font is free to download as a TrueType file, and you can type your own text to preview the lettering first.
