I launched Lesser Concern on May 11, 1999. The design was developed by taking the outline strokes of my typeface Kleptocracy and applying a nib stroke effect to them. The result was a vertical, disconnected script with angled stroke modulation. Unlike conventional script designs, it lacked a natural sense of flow. The name did not have a specific meaning or connection to the design.
I originally distributed Lesser Concern with a free commercial-use desktop license. In August 2020, I placed it in the public domain.
