Distressed Scripts
The whole bunch from Old Fonts (US$39 each) via typebase. Especially Emily Austin. Then there’s Nars (four styles for US$30), Article, Solace (US$22), and Baker Script (US$29) which I still love. Also from T26, Lassigue D’mato (US$29), used for the Red Shoes ballet performance when it played in Singapore last year. And finally Rosemary Copperplate (US$89), while not exactly distressed, certainly nicely dishevelled.
Incidentally, Mike Yanega has a useful Script Font Identification Guide, not to be confused with his Script Reference List which lists something like 2,000 commercial and freeware scripts.
