Montserrat font by Julieta Ulanovsky







TrueType Font

Montserrat font comes in regular (normal 400) and bold (700) weights as a sans serif freeware TTF web font.



This distribution archive includes both the regular and bold weight .ttf font files, the font license text file (OFL.txt) and this distribution archive info note text file (Montserrat.txt).





This is a free font with commercial use allowed, licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1. See the included aforementioned OFL.txt text file in this distribution archive for license specifics and details.







from the artist, Julieta Ulanovsky:



The old posters and signs in the traditional neighborhood of Buenos Aires called Montserrat inspired me to design a typeface that rescues the beauty of urban typography from the first half of the twentieth century. The goal is to rescue what is in Montserrat and set it free, under a free, libre and open source license, the SIL Open Font License.



As urban development changes this place, it will never return to its original form and loses forever the designs that are so special and unique. To draw the letters, I rely on examples of lettering in the urban space. Each selected example produces its own variants in length, width and height proportions, each adding to the Montserrat family. The old typographies and canopies are irretrievable when they are replaced.



There are other revivals, but those do not stay close to the originals. The letters that inspired this project have work, dedication, care, color, contrast, light and life, day and night! These are the types that make the city look so beautiful.



This is the Regular family, and it has two sister families so far, Alternates and Subrayada families.
