The word Family set in Great Vibes, Allura, Parisienne and Mrs Saint Delafield, the four typefaces the handwriting generator draws with, above the same word written with Unicode cursive characters (ℱ𝒶𝓂𝒾𝓁𝓎) drawn by STIX Two Math. The typefaces make pictures; the last row is text. — Family five ways. The top four are typefaces, and what the downloads below save; the last is Unicode cursive, text you can copy, drawn here by STIX Two Math and on a phone by that phone’s own font.

In light cursive, one of the 6 letters of Family comes from Letterlike Symbols rather than the maths alphabet: ℱ (U+2131 SCRIPT CAPITAL F, also listed as “Fourier transform”).

ℓ, U+2113 SCRIPT SMALL L, which Unicode also lists as “mathematical symbol 'ell'” and “liter (traditional symbol)”, looks like the 𝓁 in ℱ𝒶𝓂𝒾𝓁𝓎 but is a different character; text typed with it will not match a search for Family.
