For my final project in an undergraduate Typography class, I designed a cohesive collection of modern, geometric, and tech-inspired monograms by creatively combining various letterforms.

Explorations

I started by identifying each letter’s distinguishing feature as it would be very beneficial to communicate the letters in a monogram. Then I started combining different letters to get a wide range of monograms on my desk.

After trying out tons of combinations, I filtered some of my best combinations for further analysis of these monograms.

Final-Monograms

To give them a realistic and classy feel, I also explored how we vary each letter’s weight and learned about the modularity of calligraphy.

Check out some of the final monograms.
