About Montserrat
Montserrat Alternates is clean, exciting, and a brand new take on modern urban fonts with smooth arcs to boot!The Montserrat Alternates typeface was part of a stretch goal when Julieta Ulanovsky was kickstarting her original Montserrat typeface. It was inspired by the signage and posters she saw in her home neighboorhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Originally based off of other sans-serif fonts like Trebuchet, it started off in 2003 and was ultimately released nearly a decade later in 2001. With an urban, modern aesthetic and a geometric structure, she created a unique and flexible font that can pop in most any situation!
In addition to working on the Montserrat Typeface, Julieta Ulanovsky has also written multiple books consisting of exotic patterns found in various landmarks across Buenos Aires. As a graphic desinger, she's worked a lot with photography. She's recently worked on a new typeface by the name of 'Confiteria' another geometric script font with more of a display purpose.

Bronx-Whitestone Bridge
Updated Mar 10, 2020
Before the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge opened on April 29, 1939, the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge (formerly Triborough), five miles to the west, provided the only vehicular connection between Queens and the Bronx. The Bronx Whitestone opened to traffic a mere 23 months after the awarding of its first construction contract so that motorists could cross it on April 30, the opening day of the 1939 New York World's Fair in Flushing Meadow Park.
Today, the bridge looks as modern and elegant as when it served as the gateway to the fair's "World of Tomorrow." As part of the massive bridge project two major recreational areas were developed, Ferry Point Park in the Bronx and Francis Lewis Park in Queens.
The bridge spans the East River. On the Bronx side are the residential communities of Unionport and Schuylerville and connections to the Hutchinson River Parkway, the Bruckner Expressway, and the Cross Bronx Expressway. On the Queens side are the residential communities of Whitestone and Malba and connections to the Cross Island Parkway and the Whitestone Expressway.
