We’ve given our visual brand a refresh 🎨 [Q&A w/ Jesse - Senior Brand Designer]

Typography
Our typography welcomes Monzo users to interact, understand and be part of a more friendly banking experience. We chose Oldschool Grotesk for our hero typeface as it has a warm, analog friendliness to it and bold curves that hark back to the days of wood-block printing.

Our functional typeface is Monzo Sans, a custom cut of Universal Sans, meaning it’s unique to Monzo. We chose it for maximum readability, with generous dots and curled ends.

Exaggerated UI
There are various ways we showcase features of our app depending on what needs to be communicated. This is an example of how we can take things one step further to add impact or create a feeling around specific features.

Shout outs
This project would not be possible without the direction of our Senior Brand Designer, Samantha Shaw, leadership of Vuokko Aro and Sarah Conrad, Heldiney Pereira and our vigilant Product Design team, and last but not least Rebecca Goldbeck, our PM at the helm of rolling it all out and into your hands.

Look forward to any questions you all have - I’ll do my best to answer them :slight_smile:
