Märtha Louise & Durek Verrett's monogram
Norway's former princess Märtha Louise and her «shaman» husband Durek Verrett are still generating news headlines in Norway – this one typography related: about their monogram on a bottle of gin they've released. Christopher Haanes, renowned calligrapher (and my former teacher) says that the M and the D deviate so much from normative letters that they can barely be recognised as such, and questions why the M is so dominant compared to the D.
Others criticise the two letters for belonging to different stylistic periods, being disturbingly nearly symmetrical and lacking a consistent stroke width and curvature.
What do you think of it?
