Lakeside specimen from Mark Simonson

A flowing 1940s brush script inspired by the hand-lettered titles of Otto Preminger's 1944 film noir 'Laura', with three sizes of capitals.

About

Lakeside uses OpenType logic to automatically mimic real script lettering, picking the best letterform based on neighbouring characters. It includes three capital heights: normal caps, taller elegant caps, and a small plain set for all-caps setting, something scripts don't usually allow for.

Classification

A flowing connected brush script with automatic joining behaviour, classed script for the same reasons as Simonson's other brush faces.
