I need some help with a very personal project. I’m looking for a beautiful uppercase letter E. More specifically, a very elaborate black letter script. Something that would make a great basis for a work of art, or that is a work of art in its own right.

Those close to me will have probably already figured out what I want with this character. I promise I will reveal all with a photograph of the finished product once the time comes.

If you have a typography blog that has a reader base that might be interested in suggesting a typeface then please point them in this direction.
