Every font in bold cursive category

Bold scripts are for distance and for merchandise: signs, T-shirts, mugs, thumbnails, anything read at a glance. They trade elegance for presence and survive small sizes, low resolution and cheap printing. Pacifico and Lobster are the standards and survive thumbnails, embroidery and one-colour printing; Cookie and Kaushan Script bring brush texture that reads as hand-painted; Norican and Grand Hotel are condensed and upright, the retro sign-painter look; Comforter Brush is the most textured and needs size to show its edges.

Cutting, stitching and small sizes

These faces weld well for cutting machines because their strokes are wide and their joins solid, and they hold a satin stitch in embroidery. On screen, export PNG at 150 DPI; for print and cutting, SVG. When a bold script is set small, in a caption or a label, the counters of a, e and o close first; keep the x-height above about 3 millimetres in print.
