Unrefined brush script with a textured sans
Madyline
Madyline is a duo in black on ochre: an unrefined brush script with heavy rough strokes and a slanted body, and a plain capital sans that sits beneath it in the same ink, presented as a combination rather than two separate products.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Madyline.
The pairing is deliberate: the script runs across the full width with a heavy brush stroke that frays at the ends, the letters lean hard and the joins are tight, while the sans beneath is a clean narrow capital set with even spacing. One face supplies the movement and the other supplies the structure, which is what makes the pair work on a label where a name has to shout and a specification has to be read. Both are set in one ink, so the sheet reads as a single design rather than a catalogue, and small tracked lines at the top and foot name the studio and the year. Madyline is a duo for packaging, labels and apparel, and it needs a wide measure for the script and short words for the sans line.

Label for a small hot sauce
A rough script over a clean capital line gives a bottle two registers, and the pair covers the name and the heat level without a third purchase.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 50 by 80 mm label: set the brand at 16 pt in the script, set the heat at 7 pt in the sans with 6 mm of clear ground, and hold 4 mm of margin on all four sides of the label.
Pre-production check
A frayed brush edge fills in on a coated label; print one on the real material and check the splits before the order.
Sign for a farm market
The script reads at a distance and the sans carries the practical line, which is exactly the split a market sign needs to do in one glance.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 600 by 400 mm board: set the market name at 96 pt in the script, set the times at 26 pt in the sans with 24 mm of clear ground, and hold 22 mm of border on all four sides.
Pre-production check
A rough script scaled to a board can look damaged; print one at the final size and judge the texture before the set.
Shirt graphic for a small brand
A textured brush script and a plain sans both survive screen printing, and the two-colour layout is easy to separate for a small run.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 260 by 300 mm chest graphic: set the name at 66 pt in the script, set the line at 14 pt in the sans with 14 mm of clear ground, and check the print area on the smallest shirt in the run.
Pre-production check
A thin sans can fill on a cotton weave; print one sample on the real shirt and check the letters before the batch.
