Description
Here are the letters I've been doing for the "Tolkien's philological Ancestry" project, which is now fullfilled.Here - [link] - you may find a picture for the coverpage of the first book.
These letters were made in the same way, as Tolkien designed them, only slightly suited for the Cyrillic alphabet. I'm putting only 9 of them here - but actually there were 8 for the 1st volume and about 20 for the second.
All pictures on the letters illustrate the essay, which they start
Black ink.

Gorgeous! It's very Pauline Baynes, which I love, and I believe she was Tolkien's illustrator of choice too, so I'm sure he would have loved this

Thank you!
You're right - actually, I was trying to remember about her when I drew this. I like her very much, and I remember that Tolkien loved her pictures himself.

These are great, Dapplehack. Typogrphy is fascinating to me. These really capture the feeling I believe you are going for. My respect and admiration go out to you for this project. Well done. Clean and well-executed.

Спасибо!
Да, центральная как-то плохо влезала, я её уменньшила - пожалуй, чересчур...
Ну, надо отметить, что в книге они совсем маленькие
