I released Lewinsky on March 21, 1998. It was an all-lowercase techno-style typeface influenced by the snowboard aesthetic of the late 1990s. The design included horizontal lines running through the middle of the letters, though the spacing and alignment presented difficulties.
I named the typeface during the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, intending the name to be unrelated to the events themselves. Shortly after its release, I saw it used on a snowboarder’s sweatshirt, but I have not often encountered it since. I originally distributed Lewinsky with a free commercial-use desktop license. In August 2020, I placed it in the public domain.
