Amazing work!
The only thing I’d really like is this - but accept it might be a bit of a niche request:

Other than being in the Monzo app I can’t think of any other improvements!

Oh, I had a note called “Text” and I couldn’t work out what it was, it was this! I’ll add that to the list now - I’m a big fan of this idea.

If this was in the same style as the “monzo” text on the card, that would be amazing.

Good idea. I don’t supposed anyone knows what font that is?
Maison Neue I think? One of the fatter versions?

Hmm okay, I think I’ll have to go with an alternative to avoid paying for typekit, etc. I find something close enough.

Have you done it yet?? 
Guess what I’ve spent 20 mins doing… loving it!!!
I had a little play around, looks like the image library I use has a bug with custom fonts…but I’m sure I can work it out.

How does it work to use a typeface in your app - from a licensing point of view? Obviously you need a license for the type itself, (right?) - is there other stuff needed?
Closest font I can find to the Monzo logo (that isn’t the official pricy version) seems to be CMSansSerif-Medium - but I can’t really see it anywhere other than personal use license.

Also after browsing coolors.co a bit too much this afternoon…
How nice would it be to have a 3 colour gradient option

I think this would be covered under a personal licence but I’m not 100% on that. Will look into that font as well, thanks for putting the work in.

Monzo seem to use Avenir Next for their bold/header text, although it’s a paid font, Google fonts has an incredibly similar one called Prompt: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Prompt
Edit: Nunito Sans is voted as quite close too https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Nunito+Sans

Also if you throw the logo into What The Font Fractul Bold looks pretty close too:
Can’t seem to link a list but if you upload a logo you can find close matches: https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/r
The problem with myfonts is they’re all paid, which is the issue with Monzo’s fonts they use. As it’s a side project, I doubt @rknightuk wants to pay out for any, although i could be wrong, I spent a fortune on a site I setup for the The Division 2(Game) when it launched

Yeah fair - really just trying to see what the cheapest similar version is (vs the official one which I found for £100!)
Also @rknightuk if you do end up buying a font happy to add a few quid to the font fund.

I’ve managed to find one on Google Fonts which is a pretty close match (good enough for these purposes) and managed to fix is the issue where the font wouldn’t be included with the download images. Need to do the work to customise it and such but it’s coming.

Okay adding text is live (lets called it a beta for now). The text is lower than might seem the best place, but it works a lot better when using it in the app (which makes me think the plus background one doesn’t look that good? I haven’t used it)
