What is the Vicomte FY font?
Vicomte is a script typeface inspired by the American lettering style known as Engrosser’s script, Engraver’s script, or more commonly, Copperplate.

Motivated by the same goals, Vicomte looks away from handwriting and shows inscribed qualities in its letters. The alternation of curves and angles, along with the narrowness of the characters and the tight spacing give Vicomte a dark and catchy texture, producing words with strength – without losing the delicacy of formal scripts.
