azlen / initialis
git clone https://github.com/azlen/initialis.git
Browser-based generator that draws endless ornamental drop caps and illuminated initial letters procedurally.
Why you might care
Each initial is rendered live in WebGL2 from a letter, frame, ornament, texture and inks, so you can explore variations, bookmark favourites, and download them as PNG, animated WebP/GIF, MP4 or JSON settings. It also ships as a no-build library for embedding initials in other pages.
