Scripts
Script and decorative typefaces have popped up in just about every period of typographic history. Script faces, of course, emulate handlettering in many varieties—blackletter (as in many of the Bibles handlettered by scribes), calligraphic (as in wedding invitations), drafting (as in architects’ drawings), cartoon, and so on. No one has trouble identifying typefaces in this category.
