The initial majuscule in the second quotation is in the obscure French script, "Saucisson," a variation of the porcine script, "Charcuterie."

 

Happy writing!

Salman,

 

I like the script you used for the Louis L'amour quotation a lot! It "flows." Is it a named style, or is it of your own invention?

Thank you David - I found that script in one of the Compendiums I think. Unfortunately I forgot to print a copy and have not been able to find the reference for some time so I mostly just do it from memory. I am sure I will run across it one of these days and will share it with you.

Love the script for Louis L'amour too! Will be on the look out for this.

David, you are in the lead for the gold medal in the competition for sauciest caption describing initial majuscules in pork-related content. We will hope the entrants from the sausage-dominating countries have not been doping excessively with sodium nitrites.
