Mezz™
Clarinetist Milton “Mezz” Mezzrow (1899-1972) was a remarkable jazz musician, as becomes evident upon reading his autobiography Really the Blues. His sharp tone and serpentine lines inspired English lettering artist and jazz lover Michael Harvey to create a condensed, oblique display typeface with the look of a chiseled alphabet in the musician's honor. 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 by Mezz as the display face.
