St. Vincentius is a hospital in Heidelberg, Germany, founded in 1910. The saint’s name above the entrance wasn’t carved manually, but sand-blasted, using a typeface. The font in use is ITC Edwardian Script. The English roundhand typeface was designed by Ed Benguiat and issued by ITC in 1994. It comes in two weights with many alternates, including two sets of capitals.
