# Monogram maker

Two or three initials, set in a classic, interlaced, circle, stacked or dotted layout and framed in a circle, lozenge, shield or laurel wreath.

## Making a monogram

Type one letter in each box; the middle initial is optional. With **Surname in the middle**, a three-letter monogram follows the classic layout for one person: first-name initial on the left, the larger surname initial in the centre, middle initial on the right, so Elizabeth Rose Carter becomes E C R. Choose **As typed** for a couple's initials or any order you prefer.

**Styles.** Classic sets the centre letter larger. Row with dots puts equal letters between two rules. Interlaced overlaps the letters and cuts a thin gap where they cross. Circle stretches the letters to fill a circle, like an embroidered towel. Stacked pairs one large letter with two small ones.

**Downloads.** The letters are drawn as vector outlines, so the SVG looks the same everywhere and suits engraving, embroidery software and cutting machines. The PNG is 1,200 pixels square, with a transparent background if you choose one. Your settings are kept in this browser.

## Questions

**Which initial goes in the middle?**

In the classic single-person layout, the surname. For two people sharing a surname, a common choice is the shared initial in the middle with the two first-name initials either side: use As typed.

**Why is my letter missing?**

The lettering covers A to Z and the common Western European accented capitals. Letters outside that set, such as Ł or Ő, are not in the font: use the plain letter instead.

**Can I use the monogram commercially?**

Yes, the design is yours. Almendra and Noto Serif are released under the SIL Open Font License, which allows using their letters in artwork.
