Use this icon in HTML

Download the web bundle (ZIP), unzip it, then place the extracted collection folder beside your HTML file. Keep its subfolders together. The examples below will then work as written; adjust the paths if you put the folder elsewhere. The bundle includes the SVGs, PNGs, fonts, CSS, instructions and license.

Monochrome image

This displays the monochrome artwork with a transparent background. Set the height; the width follows the original proportions.

<img src="collection/baltimore-initials-1832/svg/oak-leaf-complete-sheet-r.svg"
     alt="Oak Leaf R with leafy descender (complete sheet)" height="96">

An image has its own colour context, so page CSS cannot recolour its internal regions. For a decorative image beside a text label, use alt="".

SVG with your own colours

On an HTTP(S) page, load the sprite from the same site. This complete example uses dark primary ink and two strengths of red. Each region has an independent colour and opacity; set the secondary and tertiary values alike for a two-tone appearance.

<style>
  .revival-cut {
    display: inline-block;
    font-size: 96px;
    height: 1em;
    width: 0.941406em;

Monochrome icon font

Copy the whole web/ folder, including CSS and webfonts. Font size and colour use ordinary CSS. The icon font draws the solid version; use SVG for three-tone artwork.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="collection/baltimore-initials-1832/web/icons.css">
<span class="fr-icon fr-oak-leaf-complete-sheet-r" aria-hidden="true"
      style="font-size:96px;color:#a5422c"></span>
<span>Oak Leaf R with leafy descender (complete sheet)</span>

The decorative font icon is hidden from screen readers and has a visible text label. An icon conveying meaning on its own needs role="img" and an aria-label instead of aria-hidden.
