Have any of you had success using a monogram font? If so, I'd love your help!
Hi Designers!
I could really use your expertise with a monogram font. Have you had success creating 3-letter monograms? If so, I’d love your help!
I’m trying to make a single monogram with the letters A, B, and C using a font I downloaded from Creative Fabrica. The font examples show beautiful 2- and 3-letter monograms, but when I try typing "ABC," "abc," or "aBc," I end up with three separate monograms—one for each letter—instead of a single design.
Here’s what I mean:
One attached image shows what I’m getting.
The other shows the kind of result I’m trying to create (from the font listing).
I’ve installed the font on my Mac, but I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Is there a special trick to it, like typing certain symbols, using software features, or adjusting the settings?
Thanks so much in advance for any tips or guidance!
Warmly,
Heather
I believe you're using the Elliptical Triple Letters Monogram which from the overview of all of the included glyphs does not offer the option to type several different letters into one monogram.
I believe that to create the monograms from the preview image, you'd need to use a graphic editing program like Adobe Illustrator.
- Type 1 (for the stripy part at the top), then the 2 letters you'd like (e.g. a and b)
- Turn them into editable vectors, in Illustrator you'd do so by making them into outlines
- Ungroup the letters so you edit them separately
- Then select the parts of the letters you would want to combine and put them together and discard of the unused parts of the letters
