Be Careful When Mixing Different Kinds of Script Fonts

Use caution when mixing two (or more) script typefaces in a single document. When in doubt, don't do it. Script fonts are often too distinctive and tend to stand out from other text and when two different scripts are on the same page they compete for attention. Sometimes script fonts come with companions. You could probably use Noodle Script and Noodle Shaded together, for example.
