Every font in free cursive category

Every font on this site is free in the specific sense that matters: all are published under the SIL Open Font License, which lets you use the images you make here commercially with no fee and no attribution, and lets you install the font itself from Google Fonts or the designer's repository under the same terms. We do not host font bundles; each font page links to its source so you always get the current file and the licence that goes with it.

What the licence allows

The invitation you sell, the sign you cut for a client and the logo you hand to a printer are all permitted uses, and none requires a credit line. What the licence does not allow is redistributing a modified font under its original name, which only matters if you edit the font file itself. Every catalogue entry names the designer, the source commit and the date the licence was verified.

Start with this library of 67 free cursive fonts, all open source under the OFL. Each font page lists x-height, join class, swash extent, and stroke weight. The join class comes from a 676-pair render audit. Use a high-formality copperplate or round hand font for wedding suites, a vertical simplified font for school worksheets, and an italic unlooped script for Pinterest pins and logos. Compare metrics before you download, then review the OFL licence before you embed. Explore the cursive alphabet, see cursive styles, or generate text with a cursive text generator.
