I released No Clocks on April 21, 2000. The typeface originated in 1997 when I created a design for Real Doll, a company developing a proposed line of robot and cyborg dolls under the name Replicants. They requested a wide, futuristic style similar to China/Chimes, a 1970s typeface that later influenced my Korataki design. They needed only lowercase letters for a website mock-up. As payment for the work, I received a licensed copy of Fontographer, which replaced the pirated version I had been using. The project was never pursued further, but I later completed the design and released it as No Clocks. The name came from the Pylon song of the same title.
I initially distributed No Clocks with a free commercial-use desktop license. In August 2020, I placed it in the public domain.
