The richly imaginative character of Celtic design makes these royalty-free alphabets an exciting resource for graphic artists and designers in search of the unusual.

The decorative alphabets can be used as initial letters for lines composed from the basic alphabet, in a manner reminiscent of old hand-lettered books, or to compose whole words. Clearly printed, easily reproducible, these eye-catching alphabets will add a distinctive touch to every kind of graphic art, from book and textile design to advertising and poster art.
