1742 Frenchcivilite

by GLC Foundry · Website

1742 Frenchcivilite is a calligraphic revival from GLC Foundry based on the French civilité style of typeface, a tradition rooted in 16th-century cursive printing that aimed to mimic handwritten French vernacular script. This particular interpretation draws from 18th-century sources, with flowing, interconnected letterforms that carry a formal elegance and genuine historical texture. Best reserved for display use, invitations, or period-appropriate design where its ornate, handwritten character can read clearly at generous sizes.
