The best Montserrat pairings
01 · Montserrat + Lora
Design that makes the first impression last
Good type does its work quietly. The headline sets the voice, the body carries the reading, and the contrast between them tells the eye where to go first.
Montserrat makes headlines wide, bold and poster-like, and Lora is a balanced serif made for comfortable long reading on screen. A sans headline over a serif body is the editorial inversion: modern on top, bookish underneath.
02 · Montserrat + Merriweather
Design that makes the first impression last
Good type does its work quietly. The headline sets the voice, the body carries the reading, and the contrast between them tells the eye where to go first.
Montserrat makes headlines wide, bold and poster-like, and Merriweather was designed for reading on screens, with a large x-height and sturdy serifs. A sans headline over a serif body is the editorial inversion: modern on top, bookish underneath.
03 · Montserrat + Lato
Design that makes the first impression last
