Week</span></h4><h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Science Branding: Modernize Micron </span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Micron Technology is a prominent U.S.-based semiconductor company that focuses on producing memory and storage solutions. With this new design, Micron eliminated the orbit symbol in its previous logo. The new geometric font, along with the curved design, gives off a sci-fi vibe with an emphasis on simplicity and continuity. </span></p><figure class="post__image"><img loading="lazy" src="https://typogram.co/font-discovery/media/posts/127/micron-brand-identity-example.jpg" alt="micron branding" width="1070" height="574" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://typogram.co/font-discovery/media/posts/127/responsive/micron-brand-identity-example-xs.jpg 300w, https://typogram.co/font-discovery/media/posts/127/responsive/micron-brand-identity-example-sm.jpg 480w, https://typogram.co/font-discovery/media/posts/127/responsive/micron-brand-identity-example-md.jpg 768w, https://typogram.co/font-discovery/media/posts/127/responsive/micron-brand-identity-example-lg.jpg 1024w"><figcaption>Micron before and after rebranding</figcaption></figure><h4><span style="font-weight: 400;">Font of the Week</span></h4><h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">All About Montserrat</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Inspired by the signage of Buenos Aires' Montserrat neighborhood, this Monteserrat evokes a sense of history and urban charm. Montserrat is bold, geometric, and highly legible, making it a favorite for large headings, branding, and creative projects where strong visual impact is needed. My favorite part about Montserrat is the wide letter width - one of its most iconic characteristics. Its extra-wide letters are instantly recognizable and looks trendy among other display fonts. </span></p><h4><strong>Font Details</strong></h4><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Geometric Shape: Clean, geometric letterforms give Montserrat a modern and structured appearance. </span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Versatility: Offers a wide range of weights, from thin to bold, providing flexibility across a variety of uses.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Distinctive Uppercase Letters: The tall uppercase letters enhance its bold presence in headlines and logos.</span></li></ul><figure class="post__image"><img loading="lazy" src="https://typogram.co/font-discovery/media/posts/127/montserrat-font-detail.jpg" alt="Font details of Montserrat" width="1240" height="662" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" srcset="https://typogram.co/font-discovery/media/posts/127/responsive/montserrat-font-detail-xs.jpg 300w, https://typogram.co/font-discovery/media/posts/127/responsive/montserrat-font-detail-sm.jpg 480w, https://typogram.co/font-discovery/media/posts/127/responsive/montserrat-font-detail-md.jpg 768w, https://typogram.co/font-discovery/media/posts/127/responsive/montserrat-font-detail-lg.jpg 1024w"><figcaption>Font details of Montserrat</figcaption></figure><h3><strong>How to Use Montserrat for Logo?</strong></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With its bold, modern aesthetic, Montserrat’s wide letters are ideal for creating logos that stand out. It brings a sense of innovation and boldness, making it perfect for fashion, technology, or creative industries. Use it in all-caps for maximum impact, especially when paired with geometric or minimalist visuals. </span></p><h3><strong>How to Use Montserrat for Branding & Marketing?</strong></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With its bold and distinct style, Montserrat is great for creating memorable and impactful marketing materials. It works well in banners, posters, and digital ads where bold headlines are needed. Its modern and innovative aesthetic helps elevate a brand’s presence in a competitive market.</span></p><figure class="post__image"><img loading="lazy"
