About the Bad Script font
Bad Script is a handwriting typeface designed by Gaslight, first released to Google Fonts on December 2011. It ships with 1 weight and is licenced under the SIL Open Font License, which permits commercial use in websites, apps, documents and print without attribution or payment.
Its measured character is a low x-height at 52% of the cap height, condensed letter forms and low stroke contrast. Those three numbers are what the font finder uses to narrow an image down to the closest matches, so you can compare Bad Script against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
