      "name": "Montserrat",
      "description": "<p>The old posters and signs in the traditional Montserrat neighborhood of Buenos Aires inspired Julieta Ulanovsky to design this typeface and rescue the beauty of urban typography that emerged in the first half of the twentieth century. As urban development changes that place, it will never return to its original form and loses forever the designs that are so special and unique. The letters that inspired this project have work, dedication, care, color, contrast, light and life, day and night! These are the types that make the city look so beautiful. Boston uses Montserrat officially to reflect its own blend of historical charm and modern vibrancy, echoing the city's rich architectural heritage and dynamic urban landscape.</p>"

    {
      "id": "serif",
      "name": "Lora",
      "description": "<p>Lora is a well-balanced contemporary serif with roots in calligraphy. It is a text typeface with moderate contrast well suited for body text. A paragraph set in Lora will make a memorable appearance because of its brushed curves in contrast with driving serifs. The overall typographic voice of Lora perfectly conveys the mood of a modern-day story, or an art essay. Technically Lora is optimised for screen appearance, and works equally well in print. Boston's choice of Lora reflects its commitment to blending tradition with innovation, much like the city's own narrative of historical significance and forward-thinking progress.</p>"
