A big bold beast of a font, Monument is known for its width – specifically, how chunky and wide it is – and its visual and tonal impact. It’s certainly not a typeface that whispers. Whilst it was originally released as a single, striking Extended style, Monument has now become even more monumental in its offering. With brand new widths, the font has transformed from a one-style powerhouse to a versatile, multi-width workhorse. Still impactful, still massive in spirit, but now equipped to flex in new ways.
With so much to offer, it might be hard to know how to pair it. Maybe you want to dial up the drama or balance out the bass. Either way, we’ve pulled together the best pairings for PP Monument to help you along the way.
Monument and Neue Montreal
A modern classic meets its maximalist cousin. Neue Montreal’s neutral grotesque elegance brings a quiet functionality that plays beautifully off Monument’s punchy dominance (especially in uppercase). Use Monument for big, attention-grabbing type, then couple up with Neue Montreal for a smooth, structured supporting type. Together, they feel like the dynamic duo of contemporary design: practical and powerful.
Monument and Museum
This pairing is a masterclass in confident contrasts. Where Monument is rigid, square, and imposing, Museum brings flair, rhythm, and a contemporary serif warmth that softens the edges without losing impact. Museum’s editorial charm and sculptural shapes feel like the perfect counterpart to Monument’s architectural voice – a bold serif-and-sans combo that feels ideal for tidy brand systems or lookbooks or, well, really anywhere with something to say (loudly).
Monument and Right Grotesk
Right Grotesk was made to be just right – and when you pair it with Monument, it proves that once again. With its calm, versatile rhythm and subtly unusual quirks in its letterform design, Right Grotesk supports Monument’s big energy without competing for attention.
Monument and Editorial New
Sometimes the best way to make a type pairing sing is to let each voice play to its strength. Monument delivers the punch, and Editorial New adds the polish. With its refined curves, sharp serifs, and fashion-adjacent flair, Editorial New makes the perfect contemporary companion to Monument’s unmissable uppercase.
Monument and Monument
With its new range of widths, Monument pairs unsurprisingly well with itself. You could use its Condensed styles for footnotes or sidebars. Maybe you want to use its Extended style for dominating headlines, and Regular widths for body copy. We don’t know how you’d like to use it! There’s too many lovely possibilities! But you can be confident in putting together whichever weight with whichever width to make a compelling pairing. Throw in some small caps for visual contrast if you fancy too. There are plenty of fun glyphs to go around to give your design that extra something. Stack it tall, stretch it wide, or pair it up – just make sure it’s seen. Monument was never subtle. Now, it doesn’t have to be limited either.
