The opening title script
The script in the opening title looks closest to Zapf Chancery Medium Italic. Both fonts draw on early Italian cursive handwriting, and the closely related Monotype Corsiva is often listed next to it.
Zapf Chancery gives a formal, flowing look. Use it for short lines such as a title or a card, since long script text is hard to read.
