The script font family is based on the strokes of natural hand writing. Script can be compared to cursive writing as each letter flows to the next. It was developed in France in 1557; it was originally designed to mimic everyday handwriting, but is now primarily used for high-class documents.1 A beautiful example of a script font is scriptina. It is comprised of semi-connected cursive lettering. The cascading loops and curves offered in this font make it a great way to add a personal touch to designs. The curves and loops also add to the font’s rhythm. This font is seen commonly on invitations and logos.
