Montreal is a city shaped as much by its architecture and typography as by its language and culture. In the 1960s and 70s, it became a beacon of modernist design in North America—a place where graphic design wasn’t just a profession, but a cultural force.

The influence of Expo ’67 was profound. It introduced the city to a global audience and left behind a visual legacy built on clean lines, bold geometry, and a belief that design could shape society. From signage systems in the metro to civic branding and institutional design, Montreal embraced the rational beauty of modernism while filtering it through its own bilingual, cosmopolitan identity. Design here wasn’t ornamental. It was structural. The grid was sacred. Type mattered. Every poster, every logo, every public space seemed to reflect a deep respect for clarity, order, and purpose. Swiss style found its echo in Montreal, but softened slightly—infused with warmth, personality, and a distinctly Québécois sensibility. Today, you can still feel the residue of that golden age. In the metro stations that haven’t changed in decades. In the perfectly kerned signage of an old government building. In the archives of design schools and the visual language that still echoes across the city’s cultural institutions. Montreal didn’t just witness the rise of modern graphic design—it helped define it. A city where design history isn’t locked in museums, but lived, quietly, in the details.
