Are there any versions of Monaco that add bold and italic and were designed by a type designer rather than run through an "auto-variants" tool? #typography #macOS

A small bright moment for today, for me at least โ a bit of Apple history.
I emailed the designers of the vector version of Monaco (Charles Bigelow and Kris Holmes; Susan Kare having designed the bitmap version), asking about a full family, and this is what I got back.
@jsit There's also Monego, which however I cannot talk about in depth cause it's just something I stumbled across whilst searching for fonts and remembered.
@epoillac Thanks -- yeah I saw this too, and it was part of my motivation to ask for a human-created font, rather than one created by an algorithm, since the bold on this one has some issues.
Kind of hard to believe nobody has made a "Monaco Pro" with four variants!
