What You Can Type With Black Script

With complete upper and lowercase letters and all ten digits, Black Script is ready for real wording, not just a single headline. Everyday marks like &, !, ? and @ are there too. Thanks to its accented letters, it also works for Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian, not just English.

Ligatures and Smart Letters in Black Script

Its ligatures switch on by themselves in most design apps: certain letter pairs join into one specially drawn shape.

Where Black Script Works Best

Think of Black Script for greeting cards, journal pages and friendly social posts. Its lowercase letters are small compared to the capitals, so set it a size or two bigger than usual. The file has no kerning data, so in logos and big titles check pairs like AV, To and Wa and tighten the spacing by hand. Set it a bit larger than you would a normal text font. Handwriting styles lose their charm once they get too small to read comfortably.
