Inspired by our handwriting, script first appeared as a font in the eighteenth century. But how did it become so popular and how can we use it? With no further ado, let&#8217;s find out its story!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Formal, casual and calligraphic <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Script lettering can be broken into three categories: <strong>formal<\/strong>, <strong>casual<\/strong> and <strong>calligraphic<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Firstly, formal scripts<\/strong> are those really fine written fonts, inspired from the seventeenth and eighteenth century letterforms. Back in the days, people used to write with pens equipped with metal nibs. Due to this kind of nibs, letters came out with modulated strokes and forward-leaning stress, depending on the pressure the writer applied to that nib. They look great on wedding invitations, menus or graduation diplomas. One great example is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/NFC_Virtuosa-Classic-Regular.font?text=Virtuosa%20Classic\">Virtuosa Classic<\/a>. Check it out down below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"172\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Virtuosa-Classic-1024x172.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72842\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Virtuosa-Classic-1024x172.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Virtuosa-Classic-300x50.png 300w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Virtuosa-Classic-768x129.png 768w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Virtuosa-Classic.png 1156w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Formal scripts in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/NFC_Virtuosa-Classic-Regular.font?text=Virtuosa%20Classic\">Virtuosa Classic<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Secondly, casual script<\/strong> is a more natural, relaxed kind of writing. Just think about your local coffee shop&#8217;s handwritten menu. This style appeared in the twentieth century and advertisers made it popular by using it in lots of popular pulp magazines. Check out down below the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/NFC_ITC-Weber-Hand-Regular.font?text=ITC%20Weber\">ITC Weber Hand<\/a> font to really get a hang of the casual type. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"176\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ITC-Weber-Hand-1024x176.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72841\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ITC-Weber-Hand-1024x176.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ITC-Weber-Hand-300x52.png 300w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ITC-Weber-Hand-768x132.png 768w, https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/ITC-Weber-Hand.png 1118w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Casual script on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatfontis.com\/NFC_ITC-Weber-Hand-Regular.font?text=ITC%20Weber\">ITC Weber Hand.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Last, but not least, calligraphic script<\/strong> can easily pass as a combination between formal and casual. To put it another way, if one particular script is too difficult to categorise, then you can easily consider it a calligraphic one. It looks good on formal items such as invitations.
