How to Succeed With Script Fonts

Script fonts resemble cursive handwriting and can be expressive, playful, or formal, depending on which one you choose! But what they all share is the ability to bring a unique identity to your design.

Script fonts can be hard to read, which is why they are best for an ornamental addition, used sparingly and at a large size.
