Montserrat font example
Montserrat styles and variable fonts
The family has nine weights: Thin 100, ExtraLight 200, Light 300, Regular 400, Medium 500, SemiBold 600, Bold 700, ExtraBold 800 and Black 900. Each weight has an italic counterpart, making 18 static styles.
Start with Regular 400 for body text, try Medium 500 or SemiBold 600 for navigation and short labels, and Bold 700 for a prominent heading. These are starting points: check readability at your actual size and against the background of your design.
Variable Montserrat lets you choose any weight from 100 to 900, including values such as 450 or 650. At the beginning of the Styles section, a dedicated preview provides a Weight slider and an italic switch. Upright and italic are supplied as two separate files. This version has no width axis.
Language support and live preview
Montserrat supports Latin and Cyrillic, including Ukrainian. Use the live preview to test your own headings, paragraphs, numbers and punctuation.
Try “Design starts with letters. Aa Bb Cc 0123456789”, then compare different weights at the size you plan to use.
Installing Montserrat and using it on a website
Download and extract the ZIP. Use TTF files for desktop installation: open the file and choose Install in Windows, or open it with Font Book in macOS. Restart your editor after installation if the font has not appeared in its font list.
For everyday documents and layouts, you can install the static styles you need. Use the variable TTF files for continuous weight selection in applications that support them. Avoid installing both sets at the same time: their shared family name can cause conflicts. If a variable font displays incorrectly in your editor, try the static version.
To use Montserrat on your website, open the CSS generator: select the styles you need, choose WOFF2 and enter the path to your font files.
Load only the styles your website uses. For the variable fonts, README.txt includes a setup example with the font-weight: 100 900 range.
The Montserrat folder also contains demo.html and stylesheet.css. Open the HTML file after extraction to inspect the static styles and a local setup example.
