I am fascinated by the attached image but I am not sure what to call it. I have seen it labeled as a monogram of the alphabet, however that sounds bulky. As it contains all of the letters I want to call it an omnigram, would that be correct?

Bonus: If anyone has come across this image, do you have any idea of it's origin?

    I'm having trouble finding W... is it just the upside-down M? That doesn't seem quite right, since W usually doesn't have parallel left and right sides.

  • Maybe it’s the bottoms of the two circles.

  • I've not come across U as stylized in this monogram. It's really not all that impressive, since some of the letters are highly stylized.

  • It's related to a pangram - maybe it should be called a pangraph?

A monogram is a design consisting of two or more alphabetic letters combined or interlaced, and an omnigram is an email that is sent to a large audience when it really concerns only one person. So therefore the image is a monogram.

A point of note is that it doesn't just have the A to Z in the monogram. It also has 1 to 9.

    Should probably be a comment on the question rather than an answer.
