About the Meddon font
Meddon is a handwriting typeface designed by Vernon Adams, first released to Google Fonts on February 2011. It ships with 1 weight and is licenced under the SIL Open Font License, which permits commercial use in websites, apps, documents and print without attribution or payment.
Its measured character is a low x-height at 32% of the cap height, expanded letter forms and high stroke contrast. Those three numbers are what the font finder uses to narrow an image down to the closest matches, so you can compare Meddon against the rest of the library by shape rather than by name.
Want to check whether Meddon is the face in a screenshot you have? Run it through the free font identifier, or browse the full library of 1,935 open-source fonts for something with a similar feel.
