Without the font installed it looks like Times Roman. In the image without text it looks good, but, I am concerned about the fine or thinness of the text as well as the gray colour. I turn 65 next week and one of the deficiencies of old age is visual acuity. A light gray against any background colour is difficult to make out and thin or fine text of any colour against any background is difficult to make out. May I suggest increasing the thickness of all text by 50%, not quite bold but half way there, and using a darker shade of gray.
Regardless of my opinion, overall it does look good.

I added also some ideas from "The ASF Identity Style Guide" [1] regarding typography, to generate something like [2]. Attaching SVGs both with and without text. If everybody agrees I'll upload the Montserrat fonts to our download server in the following days, add the proper licenses & "rat" checks and imprint the PNGs for the "about" and "splash" screens.
