Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Single Line.
The plate is almost empty and that suits the face: one line of capitals, wide spaced, on a faint ruled ground, with two small lines of copy. The drawing is a rounded monoline with narrow oval bowls, so the face reads as quiet and functional rather than as decorative, and the even stroke means it holds at small sizes where a contrast face would fail. That construction gives a low size floor and makes the face usable for a caption and a sign from one file. The ruled ground is staging, and the two small lines are product copy that name the style. Because the letters are rounded and even, the face suits a label, a sign and a short caption, and the wide spacing is best kept for headings rather than for running text.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Single Line’s stroke geometry.
Sign for a studio door
A quiet monoline reads as a working studio, and the even stroke holds on a small plate where a contrast face would not. The even stroke holds on brushed metal.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Fabricate a 300 by 120 mm plate: the studio at 40 mm cap height, the floor at 14 mm, and a 2 mm rule. Keep 15 mm margins and specify a brushed finish with a matte etch.
Pre-production check
Check the plate at 40 mm, where a narrow oval can close in an etch; keep the counters above 2 mm. Confirm the 14 mm floor reads at two metres and that the rule aligns with the text block.
Caption setting for a catalogue
A monoline caption stays quiet under a photograph, and the even stroke keeps a long line readable at small size. It stays quiet beneath a photograph.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Set the captions at 8.5 pt with 1.35 leading, the headings at 22 pt, and the numbers at 9 pt. Print one ink on an uncoated stock and keep 18 mm margins.
Pre-production check
Check the 8.5 pt captions in a proof, where a narrow oval can fill; keep the size at 8.5 pt or above. Confirm the numbers keep a 4.5:1 contrast and that the captions align to the grid.
List for a classroom door
A monoline list reads at a glance, and the even stroke survives a laminated sheet on a door. The list reads at a glance from the door.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A4 sheet: the heading at 30 mm cap height, the names at 14 mm, and one ink on a light card. Keep 20 mm margins and laminate the sheet so it wipes clean.
Pre-production check
Check the sheet at actual size, where the lamination can fill a narrow counter; keep the counters above 1.5 mm. Confirm the names read at two metres and that the sheet hangs flat.
