Vicomte FY
Black Foundry · Black Foundry Designers
A single-weight formal script drawn from the Engrosser's script tradition, with narrow proportions and tight spacing that produce a dark, upright texture.
About
Rooted in the American Copperplate lettering tradition, Vicomte FY departs from loose handwriting in favour of inscribed, engraver-like precision. Alternating curves and angular strokes, compressed proportions and close-set spacing build a dense, striking page colour suited to certificates, stationery and formal branding. Stylistic sets and contextual alternates give flexibility within what is, at present, a single-style family.
Classification
Vicomte FY is a script typeface rooted in Engrosser's script (Copperplate), a pointed-pen tradition emphasising inscribed, formal qualities over casual handwriting. Its alternating curves and angles, narrow proportions and tight spacing place it firmly in the formal script category.
