-Monograms-

LIBRARY MONOGRAMS gives your custom monogram the warm, cozy feeling of old leather-bound books with gold-stamped titles and marbled endpapers. Inspired by lettering by the architect Robert Louis Trudeau, each monogram is neatly contained within its own cartouche, with Black or White letters, and finished with your choice of endpieces. There are even some alternate letterforms for more fun. Trudeau’s original lettering for the Albany Law School campus is reminiscent of the style called “Collegiate Gothic,” drawing upon forms from history for their beauty and gravity.

THORNHILL MONOGRAMS is a pair of fonts designed to create custom monograms in a classy retro style. Contained within a horizontal diamond shape, you have the choice of black letters on white or white on black, with or without decorative borders to enclose your monogram. Inspired by Cary Grant’s character’s monogram in Hitchcock’s 1959 classic “North by Northwest.”  The R·O·T monogram appears on book matches and a handkerchief, indicating Roger O Thornhill’s class and style. When asked what the O stands for, Thornhill replies “nothing.” Perhaps a film buff with a 2-letter monogram would also use the O.

Tablet Monograms have a bold and commanding look. Inspired by the kinds of lettering often found on old stock certificates and bank notes, Tablet Monogram come in 6 varieties including Solid, Outline, Shaded, and Shadow.
