How to use it
- 1Combine one festive font with a simple serif or sans serif; two decorative fonts together quickly look crowded.
- 2Classic holiday palettes of deep red, forest green, gold and cream suit script and serif fonts.
- 3For printed cards, avoid very thin scripts on glitter or textured paper.
- 4Use festive fonts at generous sizes; decorative details and swashes disappear when the text is small.
Type your greeting, a family name or an event title and compare the styles. Use them for cards, gift tags, invitations, menus, shop windows and holiday social media posts.
