Upright monoline script with tall narrow capitals and long entry stroke
Busted
Busted is an upright monoline script in which the capital rises far above the x-height and enters from a long straight lead, while the lowercase stays narrow and evenly spaced on a level baseline.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Busted.
The capital B is drawn as a tall narrow stem with two shallow lobes and a lead-in stroke that comes up from below the baseline at a steep angle, which gives the word a lifted start. The lowercase letters keep that narrowness: the u, s, t, e and d all sit within a tight band, their bowls shallow, and the joins pass at a consistent height rather than sagging. Weight is a single even line from start to finish, with no swelling at the turns, and the ascender on the d is the only element that breaks the band. The final d exits in a short straight stroke that rises slightly, so the word finishes higher than it began. Ends stop blunt with a small round cap. The pale ground, the multicoloured letters and the tracked label are presentation; the script is the word.

Mark for a coffee roastery
The tall narrow capital and the even monoline hold up when the mark is embossed on a bag or printed at 10 pt on a label, and the upright stance reads as confident rather than decorative.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the roastery name at 16 pt on a 90 by 140 mm bag, keep the roast and origin in a narrow caps at 6 pt, and leave 8 mm above the capital so the long lead-in is not crowded.
Pre-production check
Foil stamping a monoline under 0.3 mm breaks up; ask for the minimum stroke the die can hold and increase the mark rather than the stroke.
Byline face for a design column
An upright monoline byline sits quietly beside a serif column, and the tall capital gives the name presence without the flourish that would compete with the headline.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the byline at 13 pt under the headline, keep the role in a 7 pt caps sans, and hold 6 mm above the body so the lead-in stroke is not confused with a paragraph indent.
Pre-production check
At 13 pt the long lead-in can look like a printing artefact; check the page proof and shorten the lead if it reads as noise.
Place name for a modern table setting
The upright narrow lettering fits a long surname on a small place card, and the even weight keeps names readable across a table under low light.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the name at 15 pt on a 90 by 45 mm card, keep the table number in a 6 pt caps serif, and leave 6 mm at the left so the lead-in stroke has space to rise from the edge.
Pre-production check
A place card tilted in a holder foreshortens the tall capital; check one card in an actual holder before the whole set is printed.

Abigail
Abigail is a light lowercase-only script in which the word sits low on the line and both ends run out as long flat tails, so a name reads as a single signed line rather than as a set of letters.
