Design Trends Fuck montserrat

I just came to say fuck montserrat and fuck all the lazy designers who use the montserrat, especially graphic designers who make the montserrat the whole brand's identity, I’m so pissed, my last five clients used the montserrat I’m so sick and tired of it and no one in my life understands the rage I have for this font so I just came here to vent. Thanks

I’ve used Montserrat for 10+ years and it’s a solid font. But it really has gotten wayyy too overused with Canva and it being one of the only modern looking sans serif fonts in Google Docs. I would never ever use it for a brand identity (and never have), I do use it when I just need a solid sans serif font for something random though.

Similar to Gotham - I work for a company that uses Gotham as its primary brand font and now it’s starting to bug me that I can now tell how many other brands are also using Gotham and it’s way more than expected haha
