WHY IT WORKS
Structure meets readability

Montserrat's wide geometric headings over Inter's neutral body is a clean, modern sans pairing. Montserrat brings urban geometric character to the headline, Inter keeps the body quiet and legible, and their shared contemporary mood and tall x-heights tie the system together.

Where it shines

Modern brand, product and landing pages wanting a bold geometric headline over a UI-grade body.

Where to be careful

Both are sans — separate them with a clear weight gap and let Montserrat's width carry the headline.
