As part of an unrelated project, we've made "Gene Wolfe dropcaps" to
illustrate https://gwern.net/suzanne-delage
https://gwern.net/suzanne-delage#bram-stokers-dracula - they are
horror & vampire themed dropcaps, taking more of a broad illustrative
approach than the Folio Society dropcaps by Sam Weber.

They're pretty neat-looking. (I'm fond of the ones which manage to
evoke a trypopohobia vibe - 'V' for some reason really triggers
trypophobia or vagina dentata vibes when you ask Midjourney for
'horror'.)

We made 165 F/T/V letters, which you can see at
https://gwern.net/dropcap#gene-wolfe & are available under a FLOSS
license at https://github.com/gwern/gwern.net/tree/master/font/dropcap/gene-wolfe/
