Definition: Script is a broad category of type that mimics historical or modern handwriting styles that look as if written with different styles of writing instruments from calligraphy pens to ballpoint pens. Typical characteristics of script type are: connected or nearly connected flowing letterforms and slanted, rounded characters.
Formal script typefaces are generally neat, flowing, and formal in appearance. Informal script may be messy, playful, and look more like the varied cursive and print handwriting styles of today.
