I released Yawnovision on October 22, 1997. My goal was to create a modular typeface that moved away from the techno trend that dominated the period. The result was distinctive, though its style has been interpreted in ways I had not intended.
I later experimented with textured variations of Yawnovision. That work eventually led to Peatloaf, a typeface I preferred as a more successful development of the idea. Yawnovision was initially released under a free commercial desktop license. In August 2020, I placed it into the public domain.
