Montelago Pro was inspired by the logotype of the Mirage Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The script lettering style had such a unique and dynamic style to it, with flared out capitals and a low stance lowercase. I was drawn into the challenge of re-creating a full typeface of this style, complete with a restrained capitals version, and a flare version with true to form lengthy capitals.
Definitely a typeface with capitals to be used in moderation!
Montelago Pro combines the standard Montelago font with the Flare capitals as a swash feature and contextual alternate with OpenType functionality, an extended language character set and easier access to a handful of stylistic alternates.

Sometimes the inspirations for my typefaces come from logotypes and quirky vintage ephemera. Having lived in Las Vegas, the Mirage logo is something that was begging to be made into something anyone could type with and enjoy everytime I drove by the casino. Creating this typeface came with ease and was a joy to develop. I hope you enjoy playing with it just as much as I had fun making it.
