Letter H 15th-16th century

Editor: Here we have Letter H by an anonymous artist. It feels almost like a tiny architectural marvel, like a secret code. What strikes you about this unassuming little block? Curator: It's like stumbling upon a miniature, forgotten kingdom! The letterform itself is almost overgrown with ornamentation. Do you see how the serifs curl into tendrils? The negative space is so active, it’s almost battling the ‘H’ for dominance! It’s a world within a letter, a whisper from another time. Editor: That's a gorgeous way to put it - a world within a letter. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure! It's pieces like these that remind me art is everywhere, even in the alphabet.
