Montserrat介紹

Julieta Ulanovsky於2010年在布宜諾斯艾利斯大學FADU攻讀字體設計研究生時開始了這個項目。2011年,她將其作為Kickstarter項目推出,以完成第一次公開發布,並通過谷歌字體與世界分享。在她的Kickstarter中,她這樣描述:

布宜諾斯艾利斯蒙塞拉特傳統街區的舊海報和標誌激發了我設計一種字體的靈感,這種字體拯救了20世紀上半葉城市排版的美麗。目標是拯救蒙特塞拉特的東西,並根據自由、自由和開源的許可證,即SIL開放字體許可證,將其釋放。

隨著城市的發展改變了這個地方,它將永遠不會回到原來的形式,永遠失去那些特別和獨特的設計。為了繪製字母,我依賴於城市空間中的字母示例。每個選定的例子在長度、寬度和高度比例上都有自己的變體,每個變體都加入了蒙特塞拉特家族。舊的排版和簷篷在被替換時是無法修復的。

還有其他的復興,但它們並沒有與原作接近。啟發這個項目的信件有工作、奉獻、關懷、色彩、對比、光線和生活、白天和夜晚!正是這些類型讓這座城市看起來如此美麗。

從那時起,它就由Julieta與幾位設計師合作開發。2015年,Julieta與Ale Paul、Carolina Giovagnoli、Andrés Torresi、Juan Pablo del Peral和Sol Matas合作開發了一整套重量和斜體字。2017年,Jacques Le Bailly重新設計了整個拉丁語設計,與此同時,Juan Pablo del Peral和Sol Matas在Maria Doreuli和Alexei Vanyashin的審查和建議下開發了最初的西里爾文擴展。Lasse Fister、Kalapi-GajjarBordawekar和Marc Foley進行了技術審查。特別感謝Thomas Linard、Valeria Dulitzky、Belén Quirós和Germán Rozo。

Julieta Ulanovsky began this project in 2010 while a post-graduate student of typeface design at the FADU, University of Buenos Aires. She launched it as a Kickstarter project in 2011, in order to complete the first public release and share it with the world through Google Fonts. In her Kickstarter, she described it like this:

The old posters and signs in the traditional neighborhood of Buenos Aires called Montserrat inspired me to design a typeface that rescues the beauty of urban typography from the first half of the twentieth century. The goal is to rescue what is in Montserrat and set it free, under a free, libre and open source license, the SIL Open Font License.

As urban development changes this place, it will never return to its original form and loses forever the designs that are so special and unique. To draw the letters, I rely on examples of lettering in the urban space. Each selected example produces its own variants in length, width and height proportions, each adding to the Montserrat family. The old typographies and canopies are irretrievable when they are replaced.

There are other revivals, but those do not stay close to the originals. The letters that inspired this project have work, dedication, care, color, contrast, light and life, day and night! These are the types that make the city look so beautiful.

Since then it has been developed by Julieta in collaboration with several designers. In 2015, a full set of weights and italics were developed by Julieta in collaboration with Ale Paul, Carolina Giovagnoli, Andrés Torresi, Juan Pablo del Peral and Sol Matas. In 2017, Jacques Le Bailly reworked the entire Latin design, and in parallel Juan Pablo del Peral and Sol Matas developed the initial Cyrillic extension with review and advise from Maria Doreuli and Alexei Vanyashin. Technical reviews were made by Lasse Fister, Kalapi GajjarBordawekar and Marc Foley. Special thanks also to Thomas Linard, Valeria Dulitzky, Belén Quirós, and Germán Rozo.
