Tall script with an oversized narrow M
Monday
Monday is a tall script in black over a photograph of a desk: a very tall narrow capital M drawn as two long strokes with a shallow valley between, a compact connected body and a y whose descender curls below the word.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Monday.
The word runs across the frame, and the face is built on the first letter: the M is drawn as two tall stems that reach well above the rest of the word, the o and the n are small and round, the d carries a short ascender, the a closes into a loop and the y drops a thin descender that curls beneath the line, so a single letter supplies the height and the rest of the word stays low and quick. The stroke is even and medium with rounded ends, the slant is slight and the joins are short, which is what keeps a six-letter word legible against a busy photograph. The ground is a pale office scene with a laptop and a notebook, and two tracked lines beneath name the face and its style. Monday is a display script for covers, signage and packaging, and it works best in one short word at a large size.

Sign for a small weekday ceremony
A tall first letter gives a short greeting the height a board needs, and the compact body keeps the word readable at a distance.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 500 by 350 mm board: set the greeting at 100 pt on one line, keep 24 mm of clear ground beneath before the names at 22 pt, and hold 22 mm of border on all four sides.
Pre-production check
The tall stems can look fragile when enlarged; print one at the final size and check the weight across the room before the set.
Front of a casual card
A script with one dominating letter makes a short greeting fill a card, and the low body keeps the tone light rather than formal.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 105 by 148 mm card: set the greeting at 30 pt on one line, keep 14 mm of clear ground beneath before the message at 10 pt, and hold 18 mm of margin on both sides.
Pre-production check
A wide capital plus a long word can overflow a small card; print one at the finished size and check the fitting before the batch.
Cover word for a lifestyle feature
A tall script with a single dominant letter reads as a designed mark, and the light stroke keeps the cover quiet beside a photograph.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 230 by 300 mm cover: set the cover word at 90 pt on one line, keep 26 mm of clear ground beneath before the cover lines at 11 pt, and hold 22 mm of margin on all four sides.
Pre-production check
A thin stroke over a bright part of the image disappears; print one cover and check every letter separates before the run.
