What Is Script Font?
A script font imitates handwriting or calligraphy, with letters that often connect in flowing strokes. Scripts range from formal copperplate to casual brush lettering. They add warmth and personality, which is why they suit wedding invitations, logos, greeting cards, and Cricut craft projects.
Formal scripts model the work of pointed-pen calligraphers and feel elegant and traditional. Casual scripts mimic a relaxed hand or marker and feel personal and friendly.
Because letters connect, scripts depend on careful spacing and on OpenType features like contextual alternates and ligatures to keep joins looking natural. Set scripts large and sparingly — long passages in script are hard to read.
