SCRIPT FONTS ARE TYPICALLY ASSOCIATED WITH FEMININITY, ELEGANCE, AND CREATIVITY. THEY ALSO TEND TO FEEL MORE PERSONAL DUE TO THEIR HANDWRITTEN NATURE.

I caution you to use a script font sparingly, especially on a website, because it can be more challenging to read. I do love to use them as accents and for packaging and stationery though.

I also highly recommend test driving a font and making sure you like how the letters connect and how they are formed prior to purchasing. Are you a script font fan?




Why Script Fonts Are Useful for Small Business Branding:

  1. Personality and Uniqueness: Script fonts offer a wide range of styles, allowing small businesses to find a font that reflects their unique personality and sets them apart from competitors.

  2. Elegance and Sophistication: Script fonts can instantly add a touch of elegance and sophistication to a brand's visual identity, making them ideal for businesses aiming for a refined and upscale image.

  3. Emotional Connection: The flowing and handwritten-like appearance of script fonts evokes a sense of warmth, personal connection, and human touch, helping small businesses establish a deeper emotional connection with their audience.

  4. Versatility: Script fonts can be adapted to various brand styles, whether it's a modern, vintage, playful, or romantic aesthetic. They can be used as a primary font or combined with other font styles to create a harmonious and balanced brand identity.

 

pro tip

I always recommend a test drive of the font before purchasing if available. Type out words or the alphabet so that you can see all letterforms. I won’t lie, there have been times that I have liked a font until I saw how one letter was formed and it was ruined for me. The tiny details can really make a big impact when you are talking about font selection.

 

Here are a few graphics that utilize some of the fonts from my list so you can get a better visual and feeling for them. Pay attention to how they feel. Are they in line with your style? Do they give the vibes that it’s your handwritten style?
