Montserrat Alternates
Google Fonts · Julieta Ulanovsky · 2011
Montserrat Alternates provides the same broad family as Montserrat but with distinctive alternate letterforms for designers seeking a more individual character.
About
Sharing its weight range and Cyrillic coverage with the main Montserrat family, the Alternates cut swaps in stylistically distinct glyphs that give logotypes and editorial headings a more personalised, less ubiquitous feel. It is particularly useful in branding contexts where Montserrat's underlying geometry is desired but its sheer familiarity on the web is a concern. In practice, the two families can be mixed to create subtle typographic contrast within a single visual system.
Classification
A companion to Montserrat featuring alternative letterform constructions on select characters, offering distinctive glyphs with a more distinctive visual personality. The core geometric structure is identical to Montserrat.
