Cursive Styles
Cursive vs. script fonts
People often search for "cursive" and "script" interchangeably, and they do look similar โ both are flowing, joined-up letters. The handy way to tell them apart: cursive evokes everyday handwriting, the natural slant you would use with a pen, while script leans more formal and decorative, like wedding calligraphy.
This page focuses on the cursive, handwritten feel. If you want the more ornate, flourished look โ with sparkles, swashes and calligraphy borders โ head over to our aesthetic script fonts generator.
