A neoclassical serif by Rui Abreu, optimised for large headlines and titles as the display optical size within the broader Montris family.
About
Montris L is the largest of three optical sizes in Rui Abreu's Montris family, designed specifically for use from 96 point upward where its refined, high-contrast forms read at their best. The family sits stylistically between Modern and Scotch Roman types, offering a digitally precise take on neoclassical form without affectation. Twelve styles cover six weights from ExtraLight to Black, each with a matching italic, making it well suited to magazine and editorial title work.
Classification
Montris L is explicitly described as a neoclassical style sitting between Modern (Didone) and Scotch Roman, placing it in the neoclassical or transitional serif tradition with high contrast and refined detailing.
