Monolog was designed by Lewis MacDonald and published by Polytype. Monolog contains 6 styles and family package options.
Monolog is an especially monolinear rounded display typeface, designed to work great alongside monoline illustrations, logos and icons, while still performing well in some text settings.
A number of contemporary quirks in its construction establish visual interest, while Monolog‘s clean, geometric forms allow it to remain extremely versatile, great for a wide range of applications and themes.
Some good uses would include branding and identity work, signage, packaging, web and app design; anywhere from a hip coffee shop to a contemporary arts gallery, a music festival or a craft microbrewery.
Stand-out features include double-stacked capital ligatures, abbreviation and catchwords ligatures, interesting capital forms, and alternates – including a stylistic set to swap the default circular forms for ovals to give Monolog a more condensed and pragmatic style.
Big thanks to Ilya Ruderman, who kindly helped me to improve my cyrillic alphabet.
