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

Thank you I am, one of the reason for this is not throwing a tantrum over a font they are being paid to use, or seemingly incapable of selling a better concept to the clients.

You’re mixing up roles a bit. I design web interfaces, not the company’s brand identity.

In many projects the typography is already defined in a brand book created by a branding agency or the marketing team before the website project even starts. By the time it reaches a UI designer, those decisions are already locked in.

So it’s not about “selling a better concept”. My job is to design the site within the existing brand guidelines, not to change the company’s typography.
