Script fonts are great for many uses – invitation, headline, advertising, a website’s header, social media’s cover photo, and many more!
One advantage of script fonts is that, they give a more specific and personal touch to the theme of your design. There are script fonts for designs about romance, designs about summer and even designs about real estate – like the ones used in hotels. Script fonts are also used in logos – again, because of its specific and personal touch.
However, some designers don’t know that there’s a luxury of free script fonts in the Internet. Some know they exists, but don’t know where to find them.

Another script for a classical vibe, and hey, if you’re working for a hotel’s website, perhaps you’ve got your font right here!
