I released Raincoat on September 11, 2006. The design was based on the lettering from The Best of Rod Stewart (1976), which showed him illustrated in 1920s clothing. The album title lettering had a strong Art Deco feel, and I adapted that look into a working typeface. Key features included a diagonal stroke ending at the bottom of the D, the absence of crossbars in the B and R, and a right-leaning, straight diagonal spine on the S.

Raincoat was a single-style design and was always offered as a paid font. I once expanded it to include Cyrillic because I needed it for my own wedding invitations, but otherwise it was never used in notable projects.
