Cursive Fonts. Do you have enough fonts in your library?
You are absolutely right: there is never too much of a good thing! Indeed, there were plenty of blog posts featuring cool cursive fonts, as well as other typefaces on MonsterPost and at TemplateMonster’s Fonts & Icon Fonts section. So, this time cursive typography topic has become really challenging for me.
I was to invent some new way of drawing your attention to different types of cursive.
Let me tell you in brief what is waiting for you today.
First of all, it’s a portion of 40 good old English cursive font. But this time you don’t need to remember their names, numbers, whatever in order to click the relevant link at the end of the showcase.
Why?
Because the presentation of cursive handwriting fonts is interactive.
Are you interested?
Then, I’ll continue.
You will just look through pretty cursive fonts, choose cursive letters font you like the most, and the link will immediately take you to its download page.
Convenient, isn’t it?
But that’s not all. I thoroughly handpicked best cursive fonts on Google Fonts. I had a weighty reason to select free cursive fonts there this time. I wanted to give you the possibility to play with cool cursive fonts using CSS. The trick works easily with Google Fonts.
Even if you are not a CSS fan, you will become the one after this post and will definitely try out to change your cursive typography this way.
It’s fun and easy.
Do you like to know how this or that thing has been made? Well, I’ll reveal you the “secret” principle of today's compilation. You may use it in your blog posts or on your websites if you wish.
Well, it’s time to create. I have already mentioned above that GoogleFonts is a perfect tool for any web designer/developer as there you can get a set of CSS rules to specify font families on your website.

If you want to create different types of cursive collections similar to mine, pick the fonts you like:
Then copy the stylesheet link:
And then you'll be able to add it to your website.
Here are the fonts that I have picked.
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Alex+Brush|Allura|Arizonia|Bad+Script|Berkshire+Swash|Calligraffitti|Caveat|Cedarville+Cursive|Clicker+Script|Cookie|Courgette|Damion|Dancing+Script|Gloria+Hallelujah|Great+Vibes|Herr+Von+Muellerhoff|Indie+Flower|Italianno|Just+Another+Hand|Kaushan+Script|Leckerli+One|Marck+Script|Merienda|Merienda+One|Montez|Mr+Dafoe|Niconne|Nothing+You+Could+Do|Pacifico|Parisienne|Petit+Formal+Script|Pinyon+Script|Rancho|Rochester|Sacramento|Satisfy|Shadows+Into+Light|Tangerine|Yellowtail|Yesteryear|PT+Sans" rel="stylesheet">
There are 40 items.
Just copy and paste this link into the <head> of your website and you'll be able to play with any of these fonts.
What I did next is, I found some nice quotations all around the web, and asked Alex to write some styles for my typography compilation.
This is what we got:
.quote1 { font-family: 'Cedarville Cursive', cursive; } .quote2 { font-family: 'Indie Flower', cursive; } .quote3 { font-family: 'Pacifico', cursive; } .quote4 { font-family: 'Gloria Hallelujah', cursive; } .quote5 { font-family: 'Shadows Into Light', cursive; } .quote6 { font-family: 'Dancing Script', cursive; } .quote7 { font-family: 'Yellowtail', cursive; } .quote8 { font-family: 'Satisfy', cursive; } .quote9 { font-family: 'Courgette', cursive; } .quote10 { font-family: 'Kaushan Script', cursive; } .quote11 { font-family: 'Cookie', cursive; } .quote12 { font-family: 'Great Vibes', cursive; } .quote13 { font-family: 'Bad Script', cursive; } .quote14 { font-family: 'Damion', cursive; } .quote15 { font-family: 'Sacramento', cursive; } .quote16 { font-family: 'Tangerine', cursive; } .quote17 { font-family: 'Marck Script', cursive; } .quote18 { font-family: 'Caveat', cursive; } .quote19 { font-family: 'Nothing You Could Do', cursive; } .quote20 { font-family: 'Clicker Script', cursive; } .quote21 { font-family: 'Alex Brush', cursive; } .quote22 { font-family: 'Allura', cursive; } .quote23 { font-family: 'Niconne', cursive; } .quote24 { font-family: 'Leckerli One', cursive; } .quote25 { font-family: 'Calligraffitti', cursive; } .quote26 { font-family: 'Just Another Hand', cursive; } .quote27 { font-family: 'Rochester', cursive; } .quote28 { font-family: 'Rancho', cursive; } .quote29 { font-family: 'Petit Formal Script', cursive; } .quote30 { font-family: 'Pinyon Script', cursive; } .quote31 { font-family: 'Merienda', cursive; } .quote32 { font-family: 'Parisienne', cursive; } .quote33 { font-family: 'Yesteryear', cursive; } .quote34 { font-family: 'Italianno', cursive; } .quote35 { font-family: 'Berkshire Swash', cursive; } .quote36 { font-family: 'Merienda One', cursive; } .quote37 { font-family: 'Mr Dafoe', cursive; } .quote38 { font-family: 'Herr Von Muellerhoff', cursive; } .quote39 { font-family: 'Arizonia', cursive; } .quote40 { font-family: 'Montez', cursive; }
Each quote has it's own class so we don't mix up fonts, and make each and every play at it's best.
