The Story Behind Candlepin Monogram Font

Monograms are cool, but sometimes they can be a bit too formal. Too fancy. Dare I say it? A bit stuffy. I wanted to create a monogram font that was a little lighter-hearted and fun, and Candlepin was the result!

The Design Moment That Inspired Candlepin

I recall working on a project for a client who needed a custom monogram for their home decor brand. I scoured the internet for the perfect font, but everything I found was either too elegant or too bland. I wanted something that would add a touch of whimsy to their branding, but still look professional. That’s when I decided to take matters into my own hands and create my own monogram font.

What Makes Candlepin Special

The font file contains two sets of capital letters: larger (uppercase A-Z) and smaller (lowercase a-z), as well as two sets of numbers: larger (0-9) and smaller (shift + 0-9). There are also 20 frame and graphic options mapped to every single other piece of punctuation I could find on the keyboard!

Creating a Monogram with Candlepin

Creating a monogram is as easy as: [aBc — Just type the punctuation for the frame you want, then three letters in lowercase, uppercase, and lowercase. Boom, you have a cool and funky monogram, good for 1,001 household uses! (And never fear — I’ve included a PDF guide with a chart that shows you every frame and graphic option, and which punctuation characters to type in to get them!)
