Designers: Ken Barber, Ben Kiel, Ed BenguiatMontage has actually played a weighty role in a few of the most influential and enduring typography of the past few decades, from book coats and album covers, to posters and logo designs ... you call it. Exhibiting an uncommon capability to wield immense power while showing amazing skill, Montage's commanding profile packs a hefty punch which is softened just by its lithe yet long lasting serifs. Initially developed for Photo-Lettering in the mid-1960s by type legend, Ed Benguiat, the typefaces were given a jump start by Jess Collins prior to ultimately being formed into five compatible widths by long time House co-conspirator, Mitja Miklavčič. Under the guidance of Ben Kiel, along with some additional chin-stroking by Ken Barber, Montage has been fully become a robust family all set to deal with any obstacle you can throw at it.
