Google Fonts · David Berlow · 2021
A seriously well-engineered slab serif designed with optical sizing in mind, equally at home in body text and bold headlines.
About
Montagu Slab was developed by Font Bureau with careful attention to how letterforms need to shift across different sizes, resulting in a family that feels appropriately robust at display sizes and comfortably readable at text sizes. The range from Thin to Bold gives designers genuine flexibility across editorial, branding, and UI contexts. Its bracketed serifs and measured contrast lend warmth without sacrificing authority.
Classification
A contemporary slab serif with optical sizing baked into its design, featuring sturdy bracketed serifs and carefully modulated stroke contrast across a broad weight range. Its construction bridges classical text tradition with modern display versatility.
