This is my third post featuring some of my favorite fonts for journaling on scrapbook layouts. This time, I’ll share some–but definitely not all–of my favorite script fonts. If you are looking for serif or sans-serif fonts for journaling or text, check out my previous posts. And if you want tips on selecting journaling fonts and designing text on your pages, read this post: Principles of Page Design: Selecting Journaling Fonts.
Although there are lots of beautiful and artistic script fonts, selecting one for the journaling portion of a layout can be tricky. That’s because some script fonts can be illegible in large amounts. Fancy capital letters or long ascenders and descenders can distract the eye and slow down the reader. So, when selecting a script font for a large block of text or journaling, readability is my first consideration and artistic appearance comes second.
Because of all of the available script fonts out there, you’re sure to find one to match almost any event or emotion–a definite plus when designing a scrap page. For best results, I suggest testing out your chosen script font on your journaling after you’ve written it to see how it looks. If it is unreadable or even a little hard on the eye, switch to a different script font, adjust the line spacing or point size, or reduce the amount of text.
And now, let’s check out some of my favorite script fonts for text:
Coneria Script: Beautiful and elegant font that is easy to read.
Great Vibes: Lovely capital letters and great flow make this a fancy script font. Works best for text that is not too small, though.
Wendy: One of my favorite script fonts–adorable and fun-loving!
Shardee: Gorgeous capitals and a calligraphic feel make Shardee a great script font choice!
Opal Script: Clean and pretty script from the Opal font family.
Learning Curve: As easy-to-read as your third-grade teachers handwriting!
Exmouth: Elegant, formal, and bridal.
Hiatus: Fluid and flowing script font.
Sadey Ann: A light and fun font for girly pages.
Clipper Script: Clipper Script comes in two weights so it can be used for text and headlines.
Black Jack: Casual and energetic font.
Reklame Script: This script font looks like it is written with a marker. Use for smaller amounts of journaling.
Swenson: Sleek and modern script font that is easy-to-read.
Loopi: I love the handwritten feel of Loopi and the curls on the caps!
Honey Script: Vintage vibes with energetic letters.
Adine Kirnberg Script: Gorgeous font!

Great article and thanks for those wonderful examples!
Glad to see my fave Black Jack in the mix! I see a couple here that I don’t have, like Honey Script and Opal Script. One I use a lot is Beautiful – there is a Caps only version that’s very swishy, then a regular one for the body text.
Thanks for the interesting articles. I went back and read the links as well. I’m just coming back to digital scrapping after a couple years hiatus. I’m enthused all over again and your articles get my creative juices flowing again. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed them! Welcome back!
Thank you, I love the Honey Script
Wonderful article and thanks for the links to the places where we can get them!

Loved reading about this topic–and the examples. Honey Script and Learning Curve will be super-terrific for my boys’ school pages. Thanks!
