Script font

A script font is a classification of fonts designed to resemble traditional cursive handwriting. The most common characteristics of a script font include the following:

• Variation in stroke weight to emulate realistic pressure sensitivity.
• Inclusion of texture to replicate natural inconsistencies found in ink.
• Other artificial imperfections not found in commonly used computer font families.
