- Copperplate
Finally the Copperplate!
Copperplate is the most extreme form of cursive script with most letters linked; derived from Italic and influenced by copperplate engraving.
The Copperplate is well know as Victorian handwriting.
In Victorian times hand writing was very important. People took pride in their hand writing, this was called Penmanship. Since there was so computer or type writers so everything had to be written by hand. Children would spend a lot of time in school practicing writing on their slates. Being able to write well was very important for getting a good job.
Compared to other alphabets, Copperplate has hairline and shade.
As this style has dynamic use of nib, you have to get used to use your pressure properly.
