+# First Letter Pseudo Element
+
+2019-05-03
+
+In today's TypeTip we will be taking a look at the often overlooked `:first-letter` CSS pseudo element. Though you might only use this for specific article-format web pages, it's still a nice-to-have in your web dev toolset.
+
+## The HTML
+
+Like most pseudo elements, nothing has to change with your pre-existing HTML structure:
+
+
+    <article>
+        <p>It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.</p>
+    </article>
+
+
+## The CSS
+
+Here's where the magic happens:
+
+
+    p:first-letter {
+        color: orangered;
+        font-size: 250%;
+    }
