About League Script

League Script is a script typeface written in a single thin line. The stroke barely changes in thickness, as if drawn with a fine fountain pen, and the lowercase letters join into a continuous slanted line full of open loops on b, f, h, k and l. Capitals are larger looping forms with curled entry strokes. The official notes place its mood between a teenager's love note and correspondence from the 1920s, and say that ligatures are included and that the design was planned as a base for later scripts. The font has one style, Regular, and 207 glyphs. Its character set is small: basic Latin with a selection of Western European accents. Haley Fiege designed it for The League of Moveable Type, and the copyright notice carries her name.

Where League Script works

Wedding stationery

Looped, joined hairlines look like a note written with a fine pen on invitations and place cards.

Names over a photograph

The thin line overlays an image without covering much of it when set large.

Vintage-style labels

The notes relate the design to handwritten letters of the 1920s, which suits period packaging and menus.

Personal sign-offs

A first name or short closing phrase reads as a handwritten signature.

Things to know

Hairline strokes

The line is very thin throughout, so League Script is drawn for large sizes; at small sizes the strokes become faint.

Small character set

With 207 glyphs the coverage is limited. The German ß is absent, as are the letters for Turkish, Polish and other Latin Extended languages.

One style

There is only Regular. No bold exists to thicken the line.
