Pleasant occasions such as birthdays, weddings, and anniversaries often feel incomplete without serving cake for the celebration. This form of sweet food can perfect any kind of celebration with its beautiful appearance, and sometimes also with its tasty sweetness.

One of the things that can not be missed on the cake is some wording. The wording not only gives some message but also can make the cake more aesthetic. For that reason, beautiful font styles like script fonts need to be used.

Why Use Script Fonts?

Adding words to a cake is usually done by hand. However, sometimes it can also be printed from a digital device, so simple font styles like Arial, Calibri, Cambria, and Times New Roman are not recommended unless the cake is intended to look boring.

Script fonts can be the perfect choice for cake wordings. This type of font is beautiful since it is styled based on the fluidity of human handwriting. The fonts can be smoothly connected or separated between each letter. They are great for titles, headings, announcements, advertisements, t-shirts, and especially cake decorations.

Cake wordings are often just expressions like “happy birthday”, “congratulations”, “good luck”, and others, sometimes with some additional wishes as well. The font style in cake wordings is not necessarily easy to read as long as it is pleasing to the eyes, so the font’s aesthetic is more important than its readability.

There are seven choices of script font that are appreciable for cake wordings. The font styles are Adreena, Andara, Better Personality, Diligence, Lanara, Lullaby, and Moonlish, which are designed by AQR Studio.

Adreena

Each letter in Adreena is beautifully connected with another letter in the same word. This font style combines thick and thin lines to create a smooth and unique style. It is great to decorate any kind of cake, especially as a gift for loved ones.

Adreena has some features as follows:

• basic glyphs, numerals, symbols, and punctuation
• stylistic sets 1 – 13
• stylistic alternates, contextual alternates
• ligatures and discretionary ligatures

Andara

Andara also has connected letters, but its style is more stiff compared to Adreena. However, this font style is still representing the manual handwriting style and is a perfect fit to decorate a cake for more formal occasions like in a working environment.

Furthermore, Andara featured with:

• basic character and multilingual character
• stylistic sets – contextual alternates
• stylistic alternates

Better Personality

Better Personality uses the thinnest lines compared to the other six script fonts. Even though the lines are thin, the letters are wide and connected fluidly. The style is very similar to a human signature, so it is one of the hardest font styles to read but is still beautiful to be used as many cake decorations.

Better Personality has some features like lowercase, uppercase, symbol, and lots of ligature. This font style also supports multi-language and has stylistic alternates. 

Diligence

Diligence is an elegant script font that looks very close to Better Personality. The differences are that Diligence uses thicker lines in some parts of its letters, and the letters are much more narrow than Better Personality’s, making this font style even harder to read. Still, it is also pretty to be some cake decorations. 

Lanara 

Lanara applies the modern calligraphy style. The letters are connected and use not too thick lines combined with some thinner lines. It is perfect for decorating a cake with friendly expressions and messages.

These are the features of Lanara:

• basic glyphs, numerals, symbols, and punctuation
• stylistic sets 1 – 10
• stylistic alternates
• ligatures and discretionary ligatures
• swash
• multilingual support
• PUA encoded

Lullaby

The letters in Lullaby are narrowly connected and use lines with the same thickness all the way. This font style looks smooth and comfortable to read, perfect for decorating a cake for kids who like funny and playful designs.

The features of the Lullaby script font are basic characters, multilingual characters, alternate characters, and ligatures.

Moonlish

Last but not least, Moonlish, which uses the thickest lines for its letters, is the opposite of Better Personality. The words in this font style look very brave with bold and italic style. Some letters are connected with each other, but some are separated with narrow gaps. It is a good cake decoration for men based on its masculinity.

There is not a single font style that is the best for everyone. At the end of the day, each person has his or her own taste in font style, and you can consider these seven chosen script fonts for decorating your next cake with pretty messages. You can also look for other options of fonts based on your own taste.
