Inspired by Weiß-Antiqua. Working title was Miami Weiss. A preliminary version in three styles (Regular, Italic, Condensed) was released in February 2018 via Future Fonts. Later updated to three weights plus italics. Messer Condensed was made a separate family. The December 2021 update added more contrast and a new weight range: Light, Regular and Bold plus italics.

Messer Pixel (Regular and Italic) was added in November 2022 as a temporary family extension, available until December 31, 2022.
