These typefaces derive from seventeenth-century (10) formal writing
styles. Many characters have strokes that join them to other letters.
These script typefaces intentionally look informal or quickly drawn. Often they appear
drawn with a brush. Typically, character strokes connect one letter to the next.
These script faces mimic calligraphy. They can be connecting or nonconnect-
ing in design. Many appear written with a fl at-tipped writing instrument.
