I introduced Lunasol on March 26, 1997. The design was influenced by the twin-striped lettering on Toronto Blue Jays jerseys. I developed a futuristic, square-form typeface with parallel stripes running through the letters. After completing the design, I accidentally overwrote the finished version and its backups, so I recreated the font from scratch. The name combined “luna” (moon) and “sol” (sun), chosen for its science fiction resonance.
On April 14, 1997, I released two related variations: Lunaurora, which added a background layer, and Lunasequent, which stretched the striped pattern into extended forms. In 2016, I merged the three designs under the Lunasol name, incorporating Aurora and Sequence as styles and adding another background layer to simplify color layering. I originally distributed Lunasol with a free commercial-use desktop license. In November 2022, I placed it in the public domain.
