Script typefaces bear similarity with and owe their popularity to handwriting resemblance. They are generally divided into two main groups: formal and casual scripts. While the formal types are similar to cursive writing, casual scripts are looser.

#10: Mi Teiyng Script

The last but not least is a slightly unusual font, Mi Teiyng Script. It was revealed last year and up to today downloaded only more than 3000 times, which indicates not many users found it inspiring enough.

Still, we appreciate its vintage appeal, as it is an old script font whose regular version was developed in single weight. When printed in large sizes, it reveals the typical ink texture, so we recommend it for old books reprints or projects that want to pay omage to the traditional handwriting.
