Must-have Script Fonts

July 31, 2014 juicebox Typography

← Experiments with Watercolour 16 Inspirational Business Card Designs →

I’m crazy about script fonts but rarely get a chance to use them unless I’m working on a wedding invitation or my own personal projects. I’ve often thought about starting a company dedicated to wedding invitations just to be able to work with script fonts all day long. The ligatures, the curves and clean lines, the ascenders and descenders, the glyphs. There is so much to play with. They are so delicate and beautiful, they can transform the most hateful words into a piece of art.

Here is a roundup of some of my favourites. What are yours?

Bickham Script

Richard Lipton’s Bickham Script is a classic and sophisticated script. With dozens of alternate letterforms to explore, this font is incredibly versatile.
