Pros

UIOYIOYYUU7O

Free script fonts – also known as cursive fonts – are a popular style of typography, and are especially prevalent on the web. They're often representational of handwriting, which means if you have a little knowledge of how to scan and map artwork into font-generating software, it's relatively easy to create your own.

And many people have done just that. However, this abundance of free script fonts doesn't necessarily make things easier for designers. It can be tricky to find the diamonds in the rough. With this in mind we've selected a handful of brilliant free script fonts. They're all free to use in personal projects, but some have different rules for commercial usage, so make sure you double-check with the owner.

For even more typography inspiration, see our roundups of the best free fonts and great free handwriting fonts, as well as the best free brush fonts.

Laura Worthington is the typographer behind thick, substantial script font Milkshake, which is available over on Bold Faced Goods.

18. Variane Script

Created by Boy Moch Tomi, this stunning free script font harks back to the good ol' days of classic design and marked Tomi's first attempt at creating script fonts. He says, 'I am very interested in the script because of its complexity and only a few of them are free to use. I hope that these fonts will be useful for everyone.'

23. Aguafina Script

This eye-catching and elegant free script font from Sudtipos offers a set of clean lines that manage to flow without expanding to fill every bit of space.

This handwritten cursive font Christopher Hand by El Stinger isn't the most technically competent in our list, but we love the ease of the letterforms and the honesty of the designer's notes. You may find yourself doing a little bit more work than usual to kern pairs together, but the end result will make it worthwhile: an appearance of effortless scrawl. This one is free for personal use, and if you want to use it commercially, the designer asks that you email him and send him 'something nice from your hometown'.

27. Grand Hotel

Designed by Brian J Bonislawsky and Jim Lyles for Astigmatic, free script font Grand Hotel takes its inspiration from the title screen of the 1937 film Cafe Metropole starring Tyrone Power. It has a classic weight and subtlety that make you think of artisan signage and craft, but its cursive lowercase lends itself to a host of different uses.

28. Puzzled

With gentle curves and a haphazard, handwritten aesthetic, Puzzled is a great font if you want to make a statement. It comes with a wide range of punctuation marks, plus numerals and multilingual support. This font was designed by Dmitriy Chirkov, and is available to download for free on Behance.
