Citylines: History & Characteristics

Handwriting

Open Source

Citylines handwriting typeface delivers playful forms through hand-drawn construction suited to casual, friendly applications. Syaf Rizal's design creates informal character for personal branding, casual editorial, and creative projects. The hand-drawn details add warmth and authenticity while playful proportions convey approachability. Citylines's casual aesthetic appeals to stationery, lifestyle brands, and personal communications. Display and branding applications showcase the typeface's hand-lettered character. Pair with a clean sans-serif for legible body text.

Citylines comes from the work of Syaf Rizal. The typeface reflects a focus on typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Handwriting typeface in the Vox-ATypI Scripts classification, Citylines features disconnected or loosely connected letterforms and irregular stroke weight from natural hand pressure. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for packaging for artisanal and handmade products.

Citylines is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency for both digital and print applications, with 3 font pairings curated. Standard Latin character coverage serves the majority of Western typographic workflows.
