Messenger Pro specimen from Canada Type

A calligraphic typeface unifying two mid-1970s Markus Low designs -- an upright roman and a connected script -- into a coherent family with two interchangeable character sets.

About

Messenger Pro draws on Markus Low's Markus Roman and Ingrid, originally separate film-era faces from the mid-1970s that shared enough formal DNA to function as a roman and italic pair. Both designs were reworked toward the more purely calligraphic model of Ingrid. The font includes stylistic alternates, automatic f-ligatures, class-based kerning and support for a wide range of Latin languages.

Classification

Calligraphic script combining two mid-1970s Markus Low designs -- Markus Roman (upright calligraphic) and Ingrid (typositor script) -- reworked into a unified roman/italic relationship. Two interchangeable character sets with broad Latin language support.
