The inspiration source for MFC French Roman is an elegant wedge-serif letter-style simply referred to as "French Roman Light" in an 1899 lettering publication by International Correspondence Schools. This gorgeous lettering style was originally depicted only with Capitals, Numbers, and an Ampersand, which we’ve precisely recreated and expanded on to create a full typeface with alternate low waisted letters and a large collection of unique ligatures. MFC French Roman sets uniquely by default with ligatures on, but if you want a more traditional typeset experience, simply disable ligatures in your program of choice.
Taking the typestyle further, we created MFC French Roman Initials, which raises the smallcaps up to center on the capitals (allowing for standard or monogram typesetting), and all the capitals have been accentuated with additional line features to make them stand out even more.
Here's what's included with the MFC French Roman family:
- 716 glyphs in MFC French Roman - including Capitals, Lowercase, Numerals, Punctuation and an extensive character set that covers multilingual support of latin based languages. (see the last graphics for a preview of the characters included)
- 586 glyphs in MFC French Roman Initials - including Capitals, Lowercase, Numerals, Punctuation and an extensive character set that covers multilingual support of latin based languages. (see the last graphics for a preview of the characters included)
- Stylistic Alternates - alternate low-waisted letterforms and alternate forms.
- Additional Style Sets - for alternate ligatures and forcing long tails on.
- Fonts are provided in TTF & OTF formats. The TTF format is the standard go to for most users, although the OTF and TTF function exactly the same.
