Standard calligraphic: (\mathcalA B C D) \ RSFS script: (\mathscrA B C D) \ Bold calligraphic: (\bm\mathcalA B C D) \ Better bold calligraphic (with calrsfs): % Uncomment if calrsfs is installed: \usepackagecalrsfs % (\mathbfcalA B C D) ams calligraphy fonts
AMS (American Mathematical Society) doesn’t have a single “calligraphy font,” but in LaTeX, \mathcal (from the AMS symbol set) and \mathscr (from the mathrsfs package) are the standard script/calligraphy fonts for math mode. Additionally, the calrsfs package (part of AMSfont distribution) provides a bold calligraphic style. 2. Core AMS-related calligraphic fonts | Font style | Command | Package | Appearance | |------------|---------|---------|-------------| | Standard math calligraphic | \mathcalABC | built-in (amsfonts) | Uppercase only, formal script | | RSFS script (round, elegant) | \mathscrABC | mathrsfs | Uppercase only, flourished | | Bold calligraphic | \mathbfcalABC | amsmath + bm or calrsfs | Bold script | | Euler script (beautiful) | \mathscrABC | eucal with [euler] option | Uppercase, italic-like | 3.
