Collection: Monoline Fonts

Vintage Style Monoline Fonts

Fonts that feature uniform stroke width throughout each letterform inspired by early lettering books, showcards, and drafting pen instructionals. Great for poster layouts, labels, patches, and small headlines where simplicity and legibility matter.

Tips for use

• Mind letter-spacing: add ~2–4% tracking at small sizes to keep counters open; you can tighten slightly at large display sizes.
  
• Don’t fake weight: choose a heavier style instead of faux bold or outline effects.
• Keep effects minimal: heavy outlines, shadows, or distortions fight the even stroke, use scale and color for emphasis.
• Pair simply: match with a plain gothic/sans or a script.
• Limit condensing: extreme width changes break the monoline feel and can close up forms.
• Use features when available: for monoline scripts, enable calt and ligatures to avoid repetitive shapes.
