20 Best Cursive Fonts in Canva

Canva is one of the best tools out there for small businesses and digital entrepreneurs. Sometimes, Canva offers so much design choice that the difficulty is knowing what to choose! This is especially true when it comes to selecting a font. There are just so many, especially if you are a Canva Pro user. To make it easier for you to choose a great cursive font in Canva, I have listed the best cursive fonts in Canva in this article. I hope you will find these cursive fonts useful and inspiring when you design with Canva!

Selecting the best cursive fonts is not an easy job, but someone has to do it. In this case, that was me. Some of these fonts are quite similar to another, but I have overall tried to select fonts that don’t resemble each other too much.

Whether you are looking for a font for your wedding invitations, social media posts (Instagram, Pinterest etc.), logo, flyer or marketing brochure, there will be a font for you here. See what inspires you and give it a shot in your next design 😉

Before going to the list, I will answer a few questions about cursive fonts.

What is a cursive font?

Oxford Languages defines ‘cursive’ as something that’s “written with the characters joined”. When it comes to the font world, there is a slight technical difference between script and cursive fonts. Script fonts are joined, whereas cursive fonts don’t have to be joined. For the sake of this article, I have included both script and cursive fonts – as long as the font resembles a natural handwriting with characters joined, or almost joined. This is different from my article about the 75 best handwriting fonts, where any kind of handwriting has been included – not just the cursive, or script, fonts.
