The Story of Monkey

Indra Gunawan

Handwriting

Open Source

Monkey font is a handwriting typeface with brush letterforms that swing with playful, energetic personality. Each character displays dynamic brush strokes with mischievous character that suggests playful agility and curious energy. This brush style works effectively for children's content, nature branding, and designs requiring typography with playful, energetic movement. The monkey reference suggests curiosity and fun. For designers creating playful, nature-connected content, Monkey delivers appropriate energetic character. Complements jungle palettes and playful supporting elements.

Monkey was created by Indra Gunawan. The typeface demonstrates a commitment to typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Handwriting typeface in the Vox-ATypI Scripts classification, Monkey features disconnected or loosely connected letterforms and irregular stroke weight from natural hand pressure. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for greeting cards and informal stationery.

Monkey is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency across digital and print workflows, with 4 curated font pairings available. Standard Latin character coverage serves the majority of Western typographic workflows.
