Using Parisienne on a website
Sizes
Script faces need size to stay legible: use Parisienne at 40px and up, for a name, a headline or a single phrase, never for body text, buttons or menus.
Spacing
Leave letter spacing at the default, since script letters are drawn to join, and give the line plenty of room above and below.
Loading
Parisienne comes in a single weight, so there is only one file to load; do not fake bold with font-weight, which makes the browser smear the letters. Self-hosting with next/font, or font-display: swap with the Google Fonts CSS, keeps text visible while it loads.
Parisienne is free on Google Fonts, where you can see every weight and style it comes in.
