Expert Audit & Verdict
While the static version of Neue Montreal is great, the Variable version is where the magic happens. It unlocks the "Optical Sizing" and "Slant" axes that allow for highly dynamic typography.
The ability to fine-tune the weight means you can match the stroke width of your type to your icons exactly. This level of precision is what separates a "good" site from a "great" one.
We particularly love the 'Squeeze' axis which condenses the font slightly for tight headlines.
