Druk vs Montserrat
Montserrat at 65% similarity is the most honest departure from Druk on this list. It does not replicate Druk's condensed proportions or editorial aggression — it offers clean geometric display typography as a pragmatic alternative. Best for teams that need bold headlines on a budget and can accept standard-width letterforms instead of Druk's narrow vertical drama.
