10 Nice Script Fonts
Generally speaking, I’ve always found italic fonts a bit frustrating … the fluid nature one expects from “script” doesn’t always translate well as type – the letters carry too much “sameness”, which has a tendency to then smother the feeling of a natural script, losing vibrancy and becoming dully predictable. This is certainly why there’s been an onslaught of “handwritten” script fonts in recent years – but I’ll get into those later.
For the time being, there remains a time and place for a nice, classic italic font, and while none of these made my previous “10 Indispendable Fonts” list, they’re definitely worthy of note.
