Monograms are all the rage these days!  There are rules to monograms about how they should look for children versus adults and married versus unmarried people but currently most just use the monograms to personalize their belongings!

Whether that be a monogrammed wine glass or monogrammed yeti cup to monogrammed apparel or monogrammed hats these free monogram fonts are for you!

What is a monogram?

A monogram is normally 2 or more letters that typically represent a person’s initials.   You can see single-letter monograms, representing a family name.  For weddings, you will notice couples using the first initials of both of their names along with the new surname initial.  This idea combines the two sets of initials to create a new one (like marriage!)

What is the difference between Initials and a Monogram?

A monogram is differentiated from initials by the order the letters appear.

Initials are the first letters of one’s name in the order the name is read.  First name, middle name, last name. For instance, my initials are CLS.  Cheryl L. Spangenberg.  Initials are normally written in the same size, using the same font weight for all three letters.

Monograms appear in the order of First Name Letter, Last Name Letter, and Middle Letter.  So my monogram would be CSL.   Monograms are normally written with the last name initial larger than the first and middle initials.

Married women who changed their last name can use their maiden name or married name. Monograms are commonly made with uppercase letters however some prefer lowercase letters.

How to Make a Monogram

There are online monogram makers or free monogram generator apps and programs but it is really easy to make your own monograms yourself! Cricut Design Space, Silhouette Studio, Embroidery Software, Word Document, Adobe Illustrator, and almost any program you can add and manipulate text will allow monogram creation!

Check out my post on How to Create a Monogram in Design Space here.  You can carry this method over to almost all design programs! In addition, this post is detailed and includes a video if that is helpful for you!

What are the different types of Monograms?

Scripty and Interlocking Monograms

These are normally with detailed script fonts.

Interlocking Monograms are where the swooshes of the letters interlock with each other.

Also, they can “kiss” where they touch but don’t fully interlock.

Circle Monograms

This type has letters that resemble the shape of a circle.  They may or may not have an actual circle border or background. You can find my free circle monogram frames here.

Sometimes the border can be decorated with arrows, vines, flowers, etc.

I used the circle Monogram for my Monogrammed Hat, Scarf and Mittens

Block Monograms

These monograms are made with a traditional monogram font either using block-style fonts or stacking to make the shape of a block.  They may or may not have a square monogram border. Both serif fonts and sans-serif fonts work for this style of monogram

You can easily manipulate the number of initials in your monogram with this style.

Single Letter Monograms

These can be blocked font or script font, with or without decorations.

Ideas to Monogram:

Really it would be faster if I listed items you couldn’t monogram! Here are a few of my favorites! You can use your Silhouette or cricut machine to cut the monogram to apply in iron-on or adhesive vinyl. You can also laser engrave many of these items with an xTool laser.

You can find lots of items to personalized here in my Amazon Shop!

Besides cutting the monogram borders with your Cricut or Silhouette machine from craft vinyl or iron-on you can also use the .png file to create cards, stationery or wedding invites.

Monogrammed items make great gifts! Think about them for wedding gifts, birthday gifts with a monogram or the person’s initials, and graduation gifts.
