4 pages
A vintage monogram for an independent used and rare bookstore, drawn like an engraved bookplate. A serif M stands on top of a W like its reflection in still water, the two sharing one thick spine stroke that reads as an open book, with a thin vermilion ribbon bookmark hanging below. The letters sit inside a double oval frame with a ring of fine beads and two small diamond ornaments. It comes in light and dark versions, plus a lockup with the shop's name set in spaced capitals beneath. Verdigris green and vermilion on parchment give it a quiet, learned feel that also suits a library, antiquarian dealer or publisher.
