I released Mango on November 24, 2006. Unlike many of my earlier typefaces, it was originally sold rather than distributed freely, apart from a limited free release of the Mango Scribble layer. I developed the design by drawing letters freehand with a Sharpie in an upside-down orientation, which created irregular, awkward forms. I then printed the letters in light cyan, scribbled over them, and added a fill layer to produce a marker-style, bubble-letter effect. The typeface consisted of multiple layers, with the scribble layer serving as the central feature.
On June 25, 2021, I updated Mango by removing deprecated characters, refining curve outlines, and enlarging some forms. In November 2022, I placed the typeface in the public domain.
