Font Pro celebrates the irreducible practice of American self-taught typographer Robert Schenk (1946–2025).

Starting in the late 1980s with an early version of Fontographer, Schenk designed and published an extraordinary catalogue of experimental fonts through his foundry Ingrimayne Type. 

Schenk’s work interrogated professional conventions, operating at the boundary between hobby and career, and spanning everything from standard text faces to tessellating glyphs — he turned letters into playgrounds, puzzles, and puns.

This immersive specimen includes an interview with Schenk alongside a selection of his fonts, offering a glimpse into the inventiveness that defined over thirty years of typographic exploration.
