Heavy upright script with oversized terminal curls
Black Sample
Black Sample uses broad dark stems with large looping B and S capitals, where both line endings return into wide circular swashes and the g descends between the two rows rather than hanging clear of them.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Black Sample.
The strokes stay heavy and upright, the capitals open into big loops, the swashes close in circles and one descender threads the space between the lines. That closed swash is the character: the phrase looks signed off at both ends rather than stopped, which is why the sample sets two stacked rows with a narrow gap. Because the loops and the descender share the same space, keep 20 mm between baselines from 30 pt and check the actual joins in your own wording.

Label for a bakery
The heavy script gives a bakery warmth, and the circular swashes hold a two-word name at 26 pt on a 60 mm panel, where the closing loop needs its own border.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 45 mm label: set the shop name at 26 pt on one line with the closing swash, keep 12 mm of clear ground beneath for the descender, and set the street at 6 pt in a plain sans.
Pre-production check
A circular swash cut by the panel edge looks accidental; check the artwork and keep 8 mm of border at the right.
Sign-off for a column
The signed rhythm closes a column, and the heavy script holds a short name at 22 pt at the foot of a printed page, clear of the rule beneath it.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 210 mm page: set the sign-off at 22 pt beneath the final paragraph, keep 12 mm of clear ground above the column rule, and keep the closing swash 10 mm clear of the page edge.
Pre-production check
A swash crossing the column rule reads as a printing fault; check the page and move the rule 4 mm down.
Card for a home reception
The generous script suits an informal invitation, and the looping capitals hold a pair of names at 28 pt on an A6 card, with the descender given full room.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A6 card: set the two names at 28 pt on one line with the opening and closing swashes, keep 18 mm of clear ground beneath for the descender, and set the date at 10 pt in a plain serif.
Pre-production check
Two heavy script names at 28 pt crowd the joining ampersand; check the card and open 4 mm around it.

Tall high-contrast script with an oversized B
Boho
Boho opens with an oversized narrow B that drops a deep lower bowl, the h lifts a tall loop and the two small o forms join through fine crossing connectors, so a single short name reads as a tall written line.
Ideas for this font
Heavy upright script with a heart dot
Thick
Thick is a heavy upright script in black over a pale textured ground: very fat even strokes, a tall narrow capital T drawn with a long bar, a heart in place of the dot on the i and a heavy leg on the k.
Connected round script with twinned capitals
Amoura Bloom
Amoura Bloom is a connected round script with two capitals that both close into full loops, a small x-height and a wide space between the words, so a two-word name reads as a pair of soft shapes rather than a single line.
Curled script with heart dots
Simple Handwritten
Simple Handwritten is a curled script in black on white: two spiral capitals that open the words, a fat even stroke, hearts used in place of the dots on the i, and a light slant.
