Maiandra GD is inspired by the hand-lettered type of Oswald Bruce Cooper, which dates back to 1909. It is available from multiple font websites as a free download. The font will download as a ZIP (compressed) file. Depending on your computer platform, you may need to take a few more steps to extract the file, which is the process of converting it to the TTF (True Type Font) format. Once it is converted to TTF, your computer will be able to read it as a font file.
