I released Let’s Eat on October 5, 1997. The design was created by modifying my Fragile Bombers typeface. I applied Photoshop’s emboss effect to simulate reflections, then added additional highlights by hand with a tablet. The result was a condensed design with narrow letterforms and a glossy appearance. The name came from someone saying “Let’s eat” while I was considering a title for the typeface.
I originally distributed Let’s Eat with a free commercial-use desktop license. In August 2020, I placed it in the public domain.
