I suggest avoiding script typefaces except in very limited applications.
The problem with your example is that /Lorem Ipsum/ is specifically used
when trying NOT to focus on text, but layout. In considering typefaces,
use an example of actual text from your Website.

/Lorem/ is actual Latin text, Cicero in fact.
