By , About.com Guide

Definition: A fantasy font is also called "decorative" by most typographers. It is any font that is more decorative than strictly necessary. These fonts, like the script fonts, should be used for decorative titles and headings. Keep in mind that most decorative fonts are special and not found on all computers and an unreadable font, such as wingdings, might be substituted - so use this style with caution.
Pronunciation: fan tuh see - (adjective)
