The Best Handwritten Script Fonts for Branding Design

The best script fonts for your brand identity by three hellos

Back to my love of fonts and typography with a post dedicated to everyone who loves the hand lettered, handwritten script look! I have quite a few of these, so this post may end up with a part two just like my serif posts. #staytuned

If you are looking for my first post about the best serif fonts for branding, be sure to check that out here! I also have a second post about handwritten script fonts here and another here.

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

Although I love dabbling with hand lettering myself, sometimes it’s easier to use a font. I love adding a script as an accent font to give the brand a more down to earth feel. As always, not all fonts are created equal so I recommend a test drive prior to purchasing so you can get a better feel for how the letters interact.

I’m very particular about how certain letters are formed. I would also caution you to make sure that the font you select is readable. There is nothing worse than using a font in your brand and people end up not being able to decipher what it says.

 

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?
