Danish Script Initials

A set of transfer patterns for sewing decorative monogram initials on clothing was manufactured by Women's Day magazine circa the 1940s.

Designed by renowned Copenhagen-born industrial artist and letter Gustav Boerge Jensen [April 8, 1898 – June 27, 1954], these initials have been redrawn into a digital font entitled Danish Script Initials JNL.

Large initials are on the uppercase A-Z keys, while smaller initials are on the lower case a-z keys and are centered to the larger cap height. An ornament is provided on the asterisk key, and can be placed between the small initials and the larger initial for decorative effect.
