Some of My Favourite Script Fonts
Some of you might already know about my sister Josella’s wonderful site Tack-O-Rama, but for those who don’t, it’s a treasure trove of retro fonts, design & clipart, & you must visit it at once! She not only has free samples of her clipart for y’all, she also sells large-format & scaleable images individually & a collection of all 714 images.
Jo & I were talking typography the other day, & I was looking at the new additions to her font archive including some lovely, lovely new script fonts. I’m about as fanatical about script fonts as I am about circus fonts, so I felt it was time to post some of my old favourites, & some of my new favourites courtesy of Tack-O-Rama.
Script fonts bring bags of vintage charm & glamour to your design projects. I’ve used a few of them right here as part of my blog design (which is not particularly glamorous, but I hope it’s a little charming!). Some of them will come in handy for the holidays, don’t you think – for very festive cards, tags, labels & invitations? I hope you love them as much as I do!
Please note: The fonts marked with an asterisk in the list below are for personal use only, but the rest are free to use in commercial projects; but just to be sure, please read each individual designer’s licensing agreement.

THANKS for the awesome fonts!! Question, when I try to use the Maidston font in Microsoft Word it cuts it in half horizontally. All the other fonts I’ve tried to download work fine except that one. Any thoughts on how to fix it?
