Rustic Monogram Sets
Rustic" doesn't have to mean "crude". In American architecture, country living and Art Deco styling came together in National Park Service buildings in the 1920s. This monogram style, done in satin stitch, is digitized from artwork of the period.

This "Old English" monogram style also has some distinctly American roots. In 1939, Big Band leader Harry James discovered a kid named Frank Sinatra waiting tables and singing at a small restaurant and supper club just outside New York City on Route 9-W in Englewood Cliffs, NJ. The club was The Rustic Cabin and this style was used on the menu cover.
Digitized in satin stitch, the wide areas are done with split columns and have extra underlay for additional lift.

We're not exactly sure of the age of the artwork used to digitize this monogram set - but it feels like late 1940s - early 1950s. It has a post WW II quality, after the troops returned from the war in the Pacific. Polynesian crossed with summer Boy Scout camp. The satin stitch letters are framed by long, rounded columns with open ring accents on either side. As is typical of many of our styles, the letters can be used alone.
