About
At its Regular weight, Melany Lane mimics natural cursive handwriting closely, with a low x-height, subtle roughened texture and letterforms that connect gracefully without collisions. The typeface ships with an extensive set of alternates and ligatures, allowing fine control over how letters connect and where flourishes appear. The ornate capitals can shift the tone dramatically, making it suitable for both restrained branding work and more extravagant applications.
Classification
A monoline cursive script closely modelled on the Palmer Method of handwriting, with interconnecting letterforms, a low x-height and ornate swash capitals. The regular weight is a clean, flowing cursive rather than a brush or calligraphic script.
