Calligraphy Fonts
Formal pointed-pen scripts and flourished copperplate lettering.
Calligraphic fonts imitate the pointed pen: thin upstrokes, swelling downstrokes and, often, elaborate capitals. They are the default voice of formal invitations, certificates and anything that wants to feel hand-inked. Flourished capitals need room — give the first letter space and never set whole words in caps. For addresses and details, switch to a small serif or letterspaced sans.
