Why it stands out
719 glyphs is a large set for a script font, and most of that count goes toward two separate swash systems — one set of attachable swash variants for lowercase letters, and a second set of non-attachable swashes built directly into specific letterforms rather than added on. Decorative bow elements run through the character set as a recurring motif, which is the “with Bows” in the name rather than a generic add-on.
Two styles ship in the license: a connecting Regular and a separate Upright variant.

Is there a free alternative to Elisabeth Darlington?
Yes, and closer than you might expect. Elisabeth Darlington is a 719-glyph connecting script; the free scripts below carry comparable or larger glyph sets with real connecting logic.
| Free font | What it matches | What you give up |
|---|---|---|
| Great Vibes | 2,025 glyphs and 1,081 characters — nearly three times the glyph count, with smooth connecting ligatures and alternates | A more formal copperplate voice; less of the bouncy, decorative feel |
| Dancing Script | Lively casual script with a weight axis from 400 to 700 | Casual rather than formal — wrong register for wedding stationery |
Every font in that table is released under the SIL Open Font License, is free for commercial use including client work, and can be downloaded from this site with its licence file included. The figures come from the font binaries, not from a listing.
When the paid font is worth it. Buy Elisabeth Darlington when you specifically want its bow motifs and its particular decorative personality. For pure connecting-script mechanics, Great Vibes gives you more glyphs for nothing.
Where this sits among the other connecting scripts
If you are still deciding, our Cursive Fonts comparison puts 20 premium faces side by side on the specifications that actually differ between them — desktop price, glyph count, ligature and alternate sets, included file formats and language coverage — with every figure read from the seller’s own listing rather than estimated.
That comparison is worth reading before any single purchase, because the two specifications that most often decide whether a font survives a real project are the two sellers are least consistent about publishing: whether web formats (WOFF, WOFF2) are in the download at all, and whether the character set extends past basic Latin to the accented characters your client’s name might need. Both are listed for every font in the comparison, including the ones where the seller publishes nothing and we say so.
