Biblatex style short name

Question

I'm looking for a biblatex style which will create bibliography style according to scheme:

The first letter of the name, surname, title of the book, place of publication, year of publication.

I found only: BibLaTeX - replace recurrent author by short name or Idem/Eadem in citations

Answer 1

You can achieve the result by the following modifications:

1. Use the option firstinits=true: Use only the first letter of the forname

2. Declare the format of the names to the order first-last. The order is specified in the name list format sortname. To change this, you can use:

   \DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{first-last}
   

The complete MWE is:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[style=authortitle,firstinits=true]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
Text \cite{companion}
\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{first-last}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
