Using Script Styles to Create Distinct Midjourney Art

Creating unique art with Midjourney often involves exploring different styles. One simple way to get fresh results is by using various script or font styles as part of your prompt. This technique can give your images unexpected textures, shapes, and overall feelings.

Last week, we saw how calligraphy could bring expression to images. This week, we look at how specific script styles change things even more.

Exploring Script Styles in Midjourney

Midjourney can interpret the visual characteristics of different writing styles and apply them to images. Let's look at a few examples and see how they influence the final artwork.

Spencerian Script

Spencerian is a smooth style of handwriting from the 1800s. It uses flowing letters with specific curves and loops, creating a balanced look. It was popular in schools and business.

Brands like Ford and Coca-Cola use styles with Spencerian feeling.

When used as a Midjourney style, Spencerian can add:

• Graceful lines and flourishes around the main image.

• Curves and loops within the image itself, like in hair or architectural details.

• Variations in line thickness, like pen strokes.

• A feeling of storybook architecture in buildings.

• Natural elements like trees can show the flow and curvature of the script.

The result is often elegant and detailed, giving common subjects an uncommon look.

Uncial Script

Uncial is an older style, mainly used in Europe for manuscripts, especially religious texts. It features rounded capital letters and less consistent spacing. It has a sturdy, slightly rough feel.

Using Uncial in Midjourney can bring out:

• Small flourishes, often seen worked into details like hair or flowing clothing.

• Rounded shapes within the art.

• A sense of texture or roughness.

• In images of animals with flexible parts, like an octopus, the tentacles might follow the curves of the script in interesting ways.

• Houses might appear overgrown or have rounded features instead of sharp angles, fitting the rustic feel of the script.

• Trees can show banister-like shapes or broad curves from the letter forms.

This style often gives images a historical or storybook quality.

Gothic Script (Blackletter)

Gothic script, also called blackletter, came out of Western Europe in the Middle Ages. It's known for tall, narrow letters with sharp, pointed serifs and dense shapes. It was used for books and documents and has an architectural look. It's harder to read than modern fonts but has a strong historical or medieval feeling.

Prompting Midjourney with Gothic script can yield:

• Ornate designs and flourishes.

• Angular elements, sometimes mixed with curves, especially in things like food or objects.

• A moody or dark feeling, perhaps based on the word "gothic" itself.

• Architectural details with concave and convex curves, echoing the capital letters of the script.

• Detailed serifs influencing elements like tree bark or limbs.

• Contrast between organic shapes (like a tree) and straight, parallel lines in the background.

Gothic script often gives images a strong, dramatic, and sometimes intense look.

Ornamental Script

Ornamental script is all about decoration and artistic flair. It uses detailed flourishes, loops, and embellishments to make writing visually stunning. It's used in formal documents, invitations, and certificates where look is very important. This style is less about a strict font family and more about creating art using letter shapes.

When Midjourney uses ornamental script as a style, it can produce:

• Images that look like intricate drawings or paper cutouts.

• Flourishes and embellishments that blend into the subject matter, making it feel like part of the design.

• Weight changes in lines, similar to calligraphy pens.

• Detailed and decorative patterns.

• Results that feel more like artistic pieces than typical photos or illustrations.

• Repetitive patterns that become more precise away from the main subject.

This style truly turns the image itself into a decorative work of art.

Why Use Script Styles?

Using script styles for your Midjourney prompts is a simple way to push your creative results in new directions. It brings unique textures, compositions, and feelings to your images that you might not get otherwise. Exploring how different fonts influence the look can lead to incredible, unexpected art.

Conclusion

It's surprising and exciting how Midjourney interprets the specific details and overall vibe of different script styles. From the flowing lines of Spencerian to the decorative art of Ornamental script, each style offers a distinct way to make your images stand out. Don't be afraid to experiment with other fonts and letter forms to see what new art styles you can discover.
