Wedding Blog
Alright people… you may not be as excited about this as I am (since I’m a font geek and have little font posters up around my computer and subscribe to font newsletters) BUT nevertheless this is by far the coolest (wedding) font that has ever been created:
Burgues Script is an ode to the late 19th century American calligrapher Louis Madarasz, whose legendary pen has inspired schools of penmanship for over 100 years. His talent has caused some people to call him “the most skillful penman the world has ever known.” –cpluv
There are more than 500 characters, including swashes, titling, and alternates….. which means that you can pretty much create your own gorgeous calligraphy script at home complete with all the fanciness that only the best in the biz have in their repertoire.
The only drawback…. the price of $99. Now… if I had to go back to the drawing board and redesign my invitations…. I think I might consider working completely around this gorgeous typeface. *sigh*

For me, what sets it apart from other really swishy-swirly fonts is the fact that it’s absolutely 100% readable. There’s stuff out there that looks cool from a design standpoint, but from a clarity standpoint just doesn’t cut it. This covers both bases.
I’m obsessed with fonts too! I’m not typically into fancy script fonts but this one is really pretty.
Wow, that font is beautiful.
$99 is not that bad if you think about it. You can do away with a calligrapher and you can still use the font after the wedding 
Thanks for sharing!!
i love it! thanks for sharing! i love fonts too! i been looking for a calligraphy one for ages!
Beautiful!! Anyone already have this font and want to share via email? We should set up a font swap. 
Dang. That would have been the perfect font for my invites. Me likey!
I agree with Julie! Share the love, hee.
i agree - very beautiful & readable at the same time. i love it! miss lemon - would you please share some of the font websites you like to visit as well as info. about that font newsletter? more posts on fonts please!!!
Check out Emigre:
They are a digital type foundry and have pretty cool catalogues. I know you can get at least one free, and they used to do email newsletters–I haven’t gotten one in while so I don’t know if they still do them. There are also a bunch of essays about type. Lots of info.
Well, I work for a type foundry- not Emigre, but the guy who owns that started with us so I appreciate a good font, and that is gorgeous!
oops wrong company, hehe, there aren’t that many independet type foundries out there, and I sometimes mix them up, sorry for the double post
Beautiful! I love it!
Wow, that is making me rethink getting calligraphy….
[...] blogged quite awhile ago about one of my favorite fonts ever, Burgues Script, and how lovely it is for [...]
I love this font, I’ve been wanting it for months but one hundred bucks for a font is just a bit ridiculous and in my case unaffordable. Why can’t people be generous enough as to post a link to download it? At this rate, I’ll get the font for free in about 5 years.
Jessica, these fonts are worth every cent - they take a long time to develop and perfect and the creators deserve to be recognized and compensated for this. There are plenty of free fonts floating around the web if you can’t/don’t want to pay for one - but there’s a reason that they’re free - like most things in life you get what you pay for.
Swapping/emailing/downloading/sharing these fonts is illegal, they’re copyrighted in the same way as any other commercial product.
i have this font, i buy it today, its a very good pack! im looking for more script fonts, if anyone want to change legal fonts with me send me an email. ty

About Me: My FI and I met online, but we like to tell people that we met at a "cookie shop" which is the technical location of our first encounter. He proposed exactly 1 year, 1 month and 6 days after our first date (it's the only part of his proposal speech that I remember), and we're planning long-distance from Los Angeles for a July wedding in my hometown of Monterey, CA. I have a passion for all things "cool, cute and quirky" and I enjoy video games, reading blogs (WeddingBee, trashy celeb, consumer & political) and crafting in my spare time, if I have any!
