Spencerian Handwriting
This beautiful handwriting makes my heart beat fast!
The end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century was the height
of popularity for American Ornamental Penmanship.
Ornamental script is another type of script during this period.

Today, there are beautiful fonts based on the Spencerian script. My very favorite fonts are by Alejandro Paul. His Compendium and Burgues fonts are based on the Spencerian style. Below is the New Spencerian Compendium Penmanship handbook which he used for portions of his font design.

"This is a wonderful book, I'm so lucky to have one (and perfect condition!) at home, it was the source for some of my Compendium font (http://sudtipos.com/fonts/108) and obviously the name came from there too.

These fonts are more expensive than normal fonts, but they are quite beautiful and can be used on notecards, invitations, gift tags and are very versatile especially when used with non-script fonts.
