Stick to the script!

Script typefaces are directly influenced by handwriting and calligraphy, and share many of the same flowy accents and flourishes. They give a business a more authentic look, and are often used for companies associated with handmade items.

They aren’t often used for bodies of text, and are more commonly found in logo design than anywhere else. If you need to convey elegance, choose a script font! Read this article to discover the best free script typefaces to use in 2023.
