Don't Use Script Fonts in ALL CAPS

script type faces be my valentine tips
Please, please, please DON'T use script fonts in ALL CAPS. There may be a few exceptions but I've yet to see an example of a script face that looks good and is readable in all capital letters. If you feel you MUST use a script face in all caps, choose one that has few extra flourishes. You might be able to get away with all caps with one of these free script fonts:
  • Dyspepsia - narrow, upright font but watch out for some of those tails such as Q, J, Z, L, and Y.
  • Print Handwriting - these do better than cursive fonts for use in all caps
