I released Xenowort on October 6, 1997. It was conceived as a double-vision style typeface, based on hand-drawn sketches intended to look unfamiliar or alien. The name came from a coworker who had invented the word “xenowort” to describe a fictional alien plant in a game.
Although the concept was unusual, the execution was limited, and it remained a minor part of my catalog. In August 2020, I placed Xenowort into the public domain.
