I love a good script font. I’m a bit of a ‘font nerd’ to be quite honest… I even create my own!
Another thing I love is Canva. I often use it to create graphics for my blogs, social media, YouTube thumbnails, and Pinterest pins. It’s a great free tool for creatives, and very user-friendly.
So today we’re combining two things I love: fonts + Canva.
One thing that I often get stuck on sometimes is choosing a font. It may sound silly, but there are just too many to pick from!
I’ve made several branding mood boards and graphics for my own use, but I figured they may also be useful for other creative entrepreneurs.
Script Fonts and Where To Use Them
If you’re a blogger or content creator, you’ll know how popular script fonts are!
A script font is loosely defined as a typeface that imitates handwriting, with fluid strokes and in a vast array of styles.
Depending on how you’re planning to use a script font, they can be perfect for your creative project or branding. They’re great for evoking a particular feeling or aesthetic, ranging from formal calligraphy styles, or informal handwriting.
I mean, they’re beautiful. Sometimes illegible, but that’s another issue.
I like to use this style of font minimally, usually as a focus word or short phrase on my pins and graphics.
Never ever use them for paragraphs of text! Unless you’re going for a jarring and confusing look, don’t use multiple script fonts in the same graphic either.
