MONOPOL KATIE BELL
HISTORY OF THE FACE Condensed sans serif fonts have been popular among advertisement designers since the 19th Century. Monopol was designed for posters, exhibit stands, book covers and magazines, as well as in complex visual styles. Monopol is a monolinear sans-serif face – tall, slender and elegant, allowing most text to fit onto a single line. It is always sober and serious and, when set, it is reminiscent of rows of soldiers on parade or a line of fence planks, only occasionally disturbed by a small space or knot. Monopol was released in 2010.

Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow. Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow. Waxy and quivering, jocks fumble the pizza. Waxy and quivering, jocks fumble the pizza. Sympathizing would fix Quaker objectives. Sympathizing would fix Quaker objectives. Quick zephyrs blow, vexing daft Jim. Quick zephyrs blow, vexing daft Jim. When zombies arrive, quickly fax judge Pat. When zombies arrive, quickly fax judge Pat.
