About Montserrat Underline Fonts
The old posters and signs in the traditional Montserrat neighborhood of Buenos Aires inspired Julieta Ulanovsky to design this typeface and rescue the beauty of urban typography that emerged in the first half of the twentieth century. As urban development changes that place, it will never return to its original form and loses forever the designs that are so special and unique. 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. The Montserrat Project began with the idea to rescue what is in Montserrat and set it free under a libre license, the SIL Open Font License.
This is the Underline family, a sister to the normal and Alternates families. This family celebrates a special style of underline that is integrated into the letterforms found in the Montserrat neighborhood.
The Montserrat project is led by Julieta Ulanovsky, a type designer based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. To contribute, see github.com/JulietaUla/Montserrat
Who Designed Montserrat Underline?
Julieta Ulanovsky
Julieta Ulanovsky lives and works in Buenos Aires. She is a graphic designer and typographer (UBA). In 1989 she founded the ZkySky design studio with Valeria Dulitzky. They specialize in identity design, editorial design, and consulting. She is the co-author of three design books and other typeface design projects linked to urban themes.
Sol Matas
Sol lives and breathes type design in her beloved adopted city of Berlin. From her sunny studio, she collaborates with an international type and design community. Type design found and claimed her during her formative years at Universidad de Buenos Aires. She mingled and shared classes with architects, and those technical ideas infused her design methodology with the functional precision of an engineer. After spending time at Saatchi & Saatchi, she set out on her own, and formed a new studio. Client projects have led her to research glyphs for Cyrillic, Greek, Oriya, and Devanagari, uncovering the history and meaning of the strokes.
