Fonts in the Wedding Font Value Pack

Citadel Script is a traditional engraver's face that offers timeless, elegant beauty. French Script imitates popular sixteenth century French semi-formal writing, similar to the first cursive designs cut in metal type. Helinda Rook makes a luxurious statement with its flourished capitals and diminutive lower case. Mahogany Script offers a lighthearted yet graceful appearance, qualities that capture both the imagination and current trends in invitation design. Young Baroque, with its free-flowing initial capitals and stunning lowercase alternatives, looks magnificent in virtually any setting - an ideal typeface for everything from invitations to special announcements.
