What is the Museum Initials™ font?
Museum is the Wundes foundry’s first font revival. These letter forms are scanned from the engravings of Freeman Delamotte who in 1879 published a spectacular set of ancient and mediaeval ornamental alphabets. The original forms for this font were created in 1490, a few years before Columbus discovered America.

Other than those 4 additions, the engravings are true to their original forms.
