In September, 2006, a friend showed me an extremely fascinating old logo design, Pan Air Corporation. I quickly fell for it and decided to make a typeface inspired by the hand drawn letters. While the logo had a large caps height, I needed to take a more conventional technique and make them lower. I worked intensely for a number of days, trying to make each letter catch the principle of the logo design and then continued polishing the details and started developing the font files.

Today, with OpenType technology, the typeface is extremely versatile. Each of the 3 weights (light, regular and bold) has over 30 automated special ligatures, a bunch of stylistic alternate letters, swash letters with and without wings and a prolonged language support. However that's certainly not the end of it. If you want, you can likewise get the definitely beautiful Flieger Dingbats created by Lotta Bruhn to opt for the font style. Personally I simply like them.

There are absolutely 748 glyphs in each weight of the Flieger Pro family, including ligatures, alternate letters, swash letters, old style figures, lining figures, accented characters and the "wing caps" blessed with wings by Lotta Bruhn.
