The Cyrillic version of Freestyle Script was created in 1993, consisting of the glyphs in Latin supplement.

Freestyle Script was first designed by Colin Brignall in 1969 and then by Martin Wait in 1981 for regular and cursive font.

In March 8, 2018, the website Illumine 8 described Freestyle Script as Adobe's way to fool that the font is handwritten and it leaves ugly gaps.

Illumine 8 ranked Freestyle Script as the fourteenth worst handwritten font in the first round of voting.

There are no evidences yet from any typography experts that Freestyle Script is officially banned as those were only a defamation from an original designer.

There are typefaces that legitimately made even there are similarities on glyphs and are open source like Yellowtail.
