Montefiore

Montefiore was originally inspired by a Victorian road sign found in Hove, England. Drawn from a single photograph of Montefiore Road, the production methods used on the sign added a warmth and depth that, through process, affected the form of the type.

Initially drawn in two condensed weights, the typeface intended not to re-draw it like-for-like, but to extrapolate an essence that permeates the full two weights. In 2017, Montefiore was extended and updated to include six weights and further language support.

Montefiore is available in six condensed weights — Thin, Light, Regular, SemiBold, Bold and ExtraBold. It is available to license in both Standard (‘STD’) and Professional (‘PRO’) versions, the latter containing a range of additional OpenType features.
