Roberto de Vicq de Cumptich's graceful reworking of Stephenson Blake's Victorian Blackfriars, in six weights with italics.
About
Tuppence widens the lowercase, smooths away the rougher details and builds out the reversed contrast across six weights, from ExtraLight to Bold, each with an italic and a variable font. Catchwords, swash capitals, ligatures and over a hundred ornaments carry the look into the rest of a layout. It made I Love Typography's favourite fonts of 2021.
Classification
