About
YWFT Tapscott takes its name and spirit from jazz pianist Horace Tapscott, channelling the hand-crafted, irregular letterforms typical of Blue Note-era album covers. The font includes alternate characters and ligatures for typographic variety, lending itself to music-related, retro-themed and children's design work. Its vintage character is best suited to display and headline use rather than extended text.
Classification
