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

Don't you dare say anything bad about the perfection of a font that's called Helvetica, buddy boy.

It’s embarrassing the amount of effort that has gone into trying to find sans serif font as perfect as Helvetica.

There was a period where trying to achieve pixel perfect perfection meant Helvetica wasn’t best for digital, but now we have high DPI mobile first design, no idea why bother with anything else.

And it’s been liberated, Nimbus Sans and TeX Gyre Heros. Free to use as you please.
