My Montagu Slab Font Review
Hold on tight for this one, because Montagu Slab transforms even the most frivolous text into something with gravitas. A free slab serif font with roots in 19th-century display typography, channels the bold charm of Victorian headlines while updating them for modern use. Let’s discover what makes it so appealing.
You see what I mean when examining the typeface’s details. Observe how well Montagu Slab pairs organic shapes and soft transitions with wide proportions and sturdy slab serifs.
Thanks to its optical sizing, Montagu Slab is always in its best form. In the small sizes it has less contrast, is wider and less eccentric. This makes sure it works for a little copy as well. In larger sizes however, the serifs become longer, more contrasting and the x-height also slightly shorter.
Montagu Slab’s balance of historical elegance and contemporary flair makes it a go-to for bold headlines, stylish branding, and standout typography. Give it a try in your next design project and how it transforms your word’s personality.
