Tall monogram capitals with split fishtail ends
Fishtail Monogram shows a tall central M standing between narrower K and H, where split curved terminals flare at both ends of every upright, small square marks sit beside the outer letters and a fish outline appears at each side of a lower line.

Visual anatomy & craft review
The middle letter stays large, the flanking letters stay smaller, the stems flare into split tails and the square marks hold the ends of the row. That central height is the character, because the monogram is built to show a surname initial above two given names. The cover also states that stylistic alternates vary repeated letters and that frames are included, so check the alternates before setting a pair such as AA. Keep 40 mm for the centre letter, allow 12 mm for the flared stems and proof the square marks at plaque size.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Fishtail Monogram’s stroke geometry.
The three-letter arrangement fits a surname initial above two names, which is the standard shape for a sign photographed at a reception.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 400 by 300 mm board: centre the monogram with the middle letter at 120 mm, set the flanking letters at 80 mm, keep 24 mm of clear ground beneath for the square marks, and keep 30 mm of border.
Pre-production check
Flared stems blur at large formats; check the printed board from two metres before the frame is fixed.
The tall centre letter gives a door a traditional mark, and the narrow flanking letters keep the monogram inside a modest width.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Etch a 200 by 150 mm plate: centre the middle letter at 60 mm, set the flanking letters at 40 mm, keep 12 mm to the flared stem ends, and keep 16 mm of margin so the square marks are not trimmed.
Pre-production check
Etching rounds the split terminals; check the artwork at final size before the plate is cut.
The monogram suits an engraved gift where a family initial has to appear above two names without an added frame around the row.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Engrave a 150 by 100 mm plaque: centre the middle letter at 55 mm, set the two names at 30 mm, keep 12 mm of clear ground under the row before the date at 8 pt, and keep 14 mm of margin.
Pre-production check
Repeated letters need an alternate; check the file's stylistic sets before choosing a name like Anna.
