Drop caps are having their moment thanks to Esquire Russia magazine
The practice of using a large letter to mark the start of a text has been around for almost two thousand years with illustrated caps increasing the usability by marking important passages and guiding readers through the text. Specially designed for the September issue of Esquire Russia magazine, Moscow-based designers Yana Kutyina & Andrey Belonogov drew these initials for the story about the travel by train from Moscow to Nice. You can read this story in Russian here.
