2. Nancy Says—The Importance of Bespoke Monograms from Mrs. Collins.

In the much longer article, Engraver, Communicator of Content published by Intellect Books, Collins goes on to say that—while everybody these days loves letters and fonts and typography—rarely are engraved letter forms appreciated. Further, she explains that engraved letters, in particularly monograms and cyphers, are robust champions of graphic design and typographic history when viewed through the lense of their everyday use.
