Engravers Initials 2

Another one I just did for the tattoo shop. It’s also from Dan X. Solo’s Gothic and Old English Alphabets from Dover Publications. I reckon it’s a bit of a garish monstrosity (I like the E and a few other characters though), but folks still want to get stuff tattooed on themselves in it. Okay then....
If I don’t know much about the provenance of Engravers Initials 3, this one is a total mystery to me. I’m going to guess it hails from the Victorian era?

Like Engravers Initials 3, this one was pretty sloppy, so I tried my best to clean it up. I added a few alternate characters as well. Fun one to kern, that’s for sure.
