The gothic letter of old diplomas and title pages: broad, worked capitals with broken strokes and a hairline flourish trailing from each one, next to tight, far smaller lowercase. The gap between the two is wide — a capital A stands 29 stitches tall, the lowercase a only 12, under half — and that is what gives it the air of an illuminated initial. One thing worth knowing before you frame it: an ordinary name fits inside a band of 29 rows, but an accented capital pushes that to 35, so "Ángel" needs six rows more than "Maria". That "Maria" comes to 61 x 29 stitches, about 4½ x 2 inches on 14-count. A single thread does it all, black DMC 310, with no half stitches and no backstitch. All hundred characters of the family, accents, ñ and the Spanish opening marks included. Type a name below and see it straight away.
