Masqualero is the latest typeface to be released by Monotype and is inspired by a jazz recording of the same name.  Designed by Jim Ford from the Monotype Studio, the Masqualero typeface was conceived while listening to the Miles Davis jazz composition Masqualero.  The typeface is a dual-natured serif design with six weights and italics as well as stencil and groove display weights, according to Monotype, and will lend itself particularly well to applications such as product packaging, especially luxury packaging, publishing, mastheads, headlines, logos, signage, book covers and annual reports.US-headquartered Monotype has more than 20,000 typefaces in its library. Its product range has expanded beyond the firm’s print origins to include fonts specifically created for websites, games, apps and car dashboards.
