Initials Gothic C was designed by José Alberto Mauricio and published by Alter Littera. Initials Gothic C contains 1 style.  

A comprehensive set of initials (usually referred to as Uncials, Lombardic Initials, or Lombards) of the Germanic variety, designed after Henric Pieterszoon's "Gothise Monnikke Letteren" as appearing in Enschedé, J. (1768), Proef van Letteren, Haarlem (p. 120); also mentioned as "Great Primer Uncials" and '2-line Brevier Uncials' in Vervliet, H.D.L. (1968), Sixteenth-Century Printing Types of the Low Countries, Amsterdam: Hertzberger (pp. 54-55, and 212-213). The font contains over one hundred glyphs, including as a bonus six layered plus two plain ornamental initials adapted from the Gutenberg Bible (Mainz, ca. 1455) and the Mainz Psalter (Mainz, 1457). Suitable to accompany most Gothic (especially Textura and Rotunda) typefaces, or to be displayed as drop caps or in full titles and headings.

Specimen, detailed character map, OpenType features, and font samples available at Alter Littera's The Initials "Gothic C" Font Page.

Note: Several uncial initials in The Oldtype "Psalterium" Font have been derived from corresponding characters in The Initials "Gothic C" Font, adjusting them to cope with the special (large) x-height and letter spacing of the Psalterium font (so the two sets of initials are not directly interchangeable).
