Cursive Fonts
script styles
The script group within cursive fonts — 7 styles.
Cursive and script styles are the most decorative thing on the site, and the most divisive. They look elegant in a display name and become genuinely hard to read in a sentence.

Where these characters come from
These are the script and bold-script mathematical alphabets. They were encoded for mathematical notation — script capitals appear in set theory and physics — rather than for decorative use, which is why the letterforms are formal rather than handwritten.
Worth knowing before you use them
Script has more gaps than most families, since several letters were already encoded as standalone mathematical symbols. Check that your specific name renders before committing to it.
Where this family earns its place
Cursive earns its place in a display name or a single decorative line, and almost nowhere else. It is at its best when the surrounding text is entirely plain, giving the eye one ornamental focal point. Test your own name specifically before adopting it, because the gaps in this family fall on letters people genuinely use.
Every style here, and how each one works
The method matters more than the name: it determines whether your letters are replaced, recased or merely marked, and that in turn decides how the result behaves when pasted into a field that validates its input.
