About the family


Montelago AOE draws its inspiration from the logotype of the Mirage Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, translating that elegant resort-signage style into a distinctive script display typeface with dramatic capital behavior and a relaxed handwritten rhythm. The original concept appeared in two forms: a more restrained capitals version and a flare version with elongated, more theatrical capitals true to the spirit of the source. Montelago Pro unifies these ideas into a more versatile feature-driven design, combining the standard form with Flare capitals available as swash and contextual alternate features, while also expanding the character set for broader language support and easier access to stylistic alternates. The result is a glamorous, signage-inspired script that works beautifully for hospitality branding, retro resort graphics, nightlife identities, packaging, and elegant display typography where a touch of Las Vegas spectacle is desired.

About Astigmatic

In 1873, the strange and fantastic story began. Nearly two centuries later, Brian J. Bonislawsky was born, and carrying on a mix of the the footsteps his ancestors before him took, he picked up the the traditions and founded the Astigmatic One Eye Foundry, which later expanded to become the Astigmatic One Eye Typographic Institute. (For more of the background story, see the Historical Perspective link below.) Since its founding Astigmatic has worked with dozens of designers, helping them forge their own foundries as well as helping to increase the quality of type created by Astigmatic and these other foundries. Astigmatic strives to continually increase its range of typographic scope; taking on expeditions to revive old typestyles, unearth long lost typefaces, forge new styles yet unseen, and begin to develop more comprehensive language typestyles of the WGL4 set size which includes Greek and Cyrillic extensions. If you are looking for a wide variety of typographic influence and style, the Astigmatic One Eye Institute is your source for type.
