Mezz FONT Download

Clarinetist Milton “Mezz” Mezzrow (1899-1972) was a remarkable jazz musician-hipster-raconteur (anyone interested should read his autobiography Really the Blues.) His sharp tone and serpentine lines inspired English letter cutter-lettering artist-jazz lover Michael Harvey to create a condensed, oblique display typeface with the influence of the chisel much in evidence, to honor Mezz. Just as Mezzrow improvised new compositions or variations of classic themes, so typographers can use the weight axis of Mezz Multiple Master to improvise on Harvey’s theme. Vertical formats such as book jackets and posters will be invigorated when Mezz is the display face.

The Adobe Originals program started in 1989 as an in-house type foundry at Adobe, brought together to create original typefaces of exemplary design quality, technical fidelity, and aesthetic longevity. Today the Type team’s mission is to make sophisticated and even experimental typefaces that explore the possibilities of design and technology. Typefaces released as Adobe Originals are the result of years of work and study, regarded as industry standards for the ambition and quality of their development.
