Thank you for bumping this for me Michael.
The typeface has its genesis from the scribble function in Illustrator - I accidentally made it when working on another project. However, I was unhappy with the automated results, so I redrew all the glyphs by hand(letters, numbers, punctuation, and extended characters).
The typeface was originally intended to be distributed free as an experimental type of thing through a channel like Rick Valicenti's Playground, but I was having diffiuculty getting the points to all work in FontLab (as there are more than is normally alllowed for a typeface), so I asked for help at Veer. They expressed an interest in releasing the typeface commercially, so I thought why not.
It was never meant to be viewed or used small - which is what causes it to clog up and become bulky. When viewed at a large size, it is significantly more interesting. Here is an example - http://www.coreyholms.com/neue/p…
