Cursive fonts
Cursive fonts are script typefaces drawn to look like connected handwriting, from formal pen lettering to quick brush strokes. Our collection brings together 26 families from our catalog, many of them built as type systems: the script comes with a sans or serif companion drawn by the same hand, so the headline and the supporting text belong to one family. Use them for logos, packaging, wedding invitations and editorial titles, and test each one at the size it will live at before you choose.

How to choose a cursive font
Start from where the type will live. A cursive font that looks perfect in a wordmark can become hard to read at 14 pixels, so test it at the real size, on the real background.
Readability at size. Formal faces with hairline strokes need large sizes and generous white space. For social media and small screens, a monoline or casual script keeps its letter shapes.
Headlines, not body text. Keep cursive letters for names, titles and short phrases, and set paragraphs in a simpler typeface.
Pairing. Pair a decorative script with a quiet sans or serif. Many families in this collection already include one, like Hogar, Boho, Aromática or Resort, so the pairing is solved inside the family.
OpenType features. Look for swashes, alternates and contextual forms. They keep repeated letters from looking identical and give a wordmark more personality.
Language support. Check the glyphs before you commit. Accents and special characters break a design halfway through a project when the font lacks them.
Cursive fonts for logos and branding
A cursive logo tells people there is a person behind the brand. That is why script fonts are so common in food, beauty, fashion and hospitality, where a wordmark that looks like a signature feels closer than a geometric one. For a logo, choose a family with alternates and swashes, so you can adjust the wordmark until it feels unique, and with a sans or serif companion for the rest of the identity. Letteria Pro was drawn for branding and labels, and systems like Hogar, Boho or Taberna give a brand its script, its text font and its ornaments from the same hand. To use a script across a whole company, see For Brands.
Script fonts and cursive fonts: one family
People use both names for the same thing. Script fonts is the wider term for any type based on handwriting or calligraphy, and cursive fonts usually means the ones whose letters connect. Every family on this page carries the Script tag in our catalog, and you can browse the rest of our typefaces by style.
Licensing cursive fonts for commercial use
Every family in this collection is sold with Desktop, Web and App licenses. Desktop covers print, packaging and static images for social media, and Web covers live text on your site. If the script becomes your logo or brand identity, read our licensing guide before you launch, and for company-wide use see For Brands.
Our fonts are not free for commercial use. To test a family in your layouts first, ask us for a trial font: it comes with a license for internal, non-commercial projects.
Cursive fonts FAQ
It depends on where the font will live. For invitations and stationery, Diploma Script and Estampa Script bring formal calligraphic contrast. For food, beauty and lifestyle brands, brush faces like Boho, Touch Me or Letteria Pro feel personal. For screens and small sizes, monoline scripts like Hogar or Aromática keep their letter shapes.
Ten script fonts from our catalog that cover most projects: Diploma Script, Ragazza Script, Estampa Script, Julieta, Boho, Touch Me, Letteria Pro, Tita Script, Hogar and Culinary. Most of them come with a matching sans or serif, so one family covers the headline and the text.
Script and cursive are often used as synonyms. Script fonts is the wider category of typefaces based on handwriting or lettering; cursive fonts are the ones whose letters join, like handwriting on paper. Some families, like Cookery, switch between joined and separate letters.
Formal styles with calligraphic contrast work best for invitations and stationery. Diploma Script and Ragazza bring the Copperplate tradition, Estampa borrows its terminals from Didone typefaces, and Julieta adds swashes for names. Set dates and details in a simpler serif.
Yes. Joined letterforms are common in logos because a written word feels personal. Choose a family with alternates so the wordmark looks unique, and read our licensing page before you register the trademark.
No. They are commercial fonts sold with a license. We offer trial fonts so you can test them in your layouts, and free downloads from other sites are not licensed.
Yes. A Web license lets you use them as live text on your website. Keep the script for headlines and accent words, and set body text in a typeface built for reading on screens.
