Burgoyne_Initials

Burgoyne Initials font by PJL is a free gothic initials font, a typeface that looks like it’s been etched into old stone and wrapped in curling metalwork. Each letter is packed with thorny flourishes and tiny ornamental hooks, creating a dense, almost engraved texture that feels both medieval and theatrical. Used sparingly as large initials or short words, it brings an immediate sense of ritual, history, and drama to the page.

Using Burgoyne Initials as oversized capitals shines on fantasy book covers, chapter openers, tarot or occult zines, medieval event posters, gothic wedding invitations, and game or band logos. This free font rewards generous spacing and big sizes, where all the intricate twists and barbs can really breathe. Pair it with a clean, modern sans serif for body text to let the ornate initials command attention without overwhelming your layout.
