Monogram

History[edit] Monograms have been used as signatures by artists and craftsmen on paintings, sculptures and pieces of furniture, especially when guilds enforced measures against unauthorized participation in the trade. A famous example of a monogram serving as an artist's signature is the "AD" used by Albrecht Dürer.

Christograms[edit] The Chi-Rho, a monogram of the first two letters of the Greek word for Christ. Over the centuries, monograms of the name of Jesus Christ have been used as Christian symbols. Royal monograms[edit] Monograms of the names of monarchs are used as part of the insignia of public organizations in kingdoms, such as on police badges. Royal monograms often appear on coins, frequently surmounted by a crown. Individual monograms[edit] Dress shirt monogram locations. Fonts In Use – Type at work in the real world.

Stylised 17th century floriated letterforms grotesque mask sprinkles Baroque absurdities or genius ornamental typeforms?

Rise of the Living Type

Take your pick. The prints above and below were designed in the mid-1600s by the Polish goldsmith, Jan (or Johann) Christian Bierpfaff (1600-? 1690). Bierpfaff's organic alphabet (dedicated to the patriarch of the Mackensen clan) blends the newly discovered shell patterns with grotesque botanical styling to produce extraordinary, abstracted figures in which the ornament itself comes to life.

The design is whimsical, imaginative and exquisite, all while being restrained within the confines of a recognisable alphabetical form. Although the background information online seems a little ambiguous as to publication dates, I believe the series above (released as a suite of 20+ prints called: 'Libellus Novus Elementorum Latinorum..') was the first appearance of Bierpfaff's innovative designs.
