24 fonts
Elegant, casual or bold
Elegant faces copy pen-and-ink lettering: thin hairlines, tall capitals, long connecting strokes. Casual faces look like quick handwriting with a ballpoint or felt tip. Bold faces carry heavier strokes that hold up when a signature is shrunk. Use the filter to look at one group at a time.
Which fonts stay readable
The finest hairline fonts, such as Herr Von Muellerhoff, Monsieur La Doulaise and Mrs Saint Delafield, look striking large but can break up when printed small or squeezed into a narrow form box. For small boxes, test names in Great Vibes, Sacramento or Marck Script, which keep their strokes thick enough to survive shrinking. Look at your own name at the size it will be used: long surnames and capital-heavy names change the picture.
Getting a font
Every font here is published under the SIL Open Font License. Get font opens its page on Google Fonts, where it can be downloaded and installed for documents. Save PNG gives you your name in that font as a transparent image, cropped to the letters; the PNG maker adds a grid to check the transparency. Names typed in Cyrillic are redrawn with the closest Latin cursive letters, because these fonts hold only Latin letters.
