Typeface Design for a Montreal-Inspired Grotesk
Hairline to Black, with italics at every weight
Neue Montreal is a grotesque typeface by Pangram Pangram, rooted in Montreal's design history from Expo 67 onward. Version 3 expanded the weight range from Thin–Bold to a full Hairline–Black axis, adding italic styles across all new weights and applying micro-adjustments throughout the character set. A parallel Text Size variant, spanning Light to Bold, was engineered specifically for small-size legibility and long-form reading. The family supports Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, and Arabic scripts across 506 languages.
