A copperplate script is a style of calligraphic writing most commonly associated with English Roundhand. Although often used as an term for various forms of pointed pen calligraphy, Copperplate most accurately refers to script styles represented in copybooks created using engraved copper plates.

The term Copperplate Script identifies one of the most well-known and liked calligraphic styles of all time.[source?] Earlier versions of this script required a thin-tipped feather pen. Later, with the rise of industrialization, the use of more flexible and durable fine-point metal nibs became widespread. Many masters offered their contributions of the copperplate script, but what really stood out was the work of the writing master and engraver George Bickham, who in his book The Universal Penman (1733–1741) collected script samples from twenty-five of the most talented London calligraphers. Copperplate was undoubtedly the most widespread script in the period between the 17th and 18th centuries,[source?] and its influence spread not only throughout Europe but also in North America.
