I moved the drafts of the digitized monograms into a chart to gather my thoughts about each and compare them closer together. After this, I further refined my top four favorites.

Hairline serifs are a bit thin. Fun shape but other solutions are more creative. 6

1

Right F position is adjusted a little, preferring the right. Feels too tall maybe

How can I build from the letters to make them more my own?

7

2

Push the counter form between the letters to be more extreme

I like this one, but it seems like a given answer, should cross bar of F be lowered? 8

3

f is too probably too thin, but I still like the shape of this one. Long vs short crossbar on the f?

The thicker stroke works better. I need to adjust the space between the terminals 9

4

5

Adjusted space between the A and F, I think I like the right one. Cross bar of F is moved down to match with the A

I think the right solution with the cut off terminal works better. But does it read as CAF? Incorporate cut off into the f?

It’s giving D&D, not fully built how I’d like, would be a good one to retry or figure out a little better but not sure how atm 10

These were my final five choices, since it was so hard to pick just two and I wanted to see as many as possible before I made the final decision. From here I thought about scale and how I would start putting together lockups. At first I was leaning toward 3 and 5 but then I thought back on 1 since it was a completely unique mark. To make my decision I decided I would try lockups for both 1 and 3, then pick from those.
