Illustration meets typography...
Rain drops?
ain likes the 'Daily drop cap’ - a website devoted to exploring creative possibilities within the seemingly narrow framework of the archaic practice of introducing a paragraph of text with a drop cap (like this one - left).
It’s not that all of the websites offerings are very readable, some are close to illegible, but because of the playful, creative quality of the ideas there. Many of the contributors are not designers of type, but illustrators which means their approach to design of lettering is less constrained by convention.
