I released Styrofoam Feelings on February 2, 1998. It was conceived as a playful serif typeface with exaggerated Latin serifs that extended sharply into surrounding letters. The intent was to create a cartoon-influenced design with an unusual, pointed structure.

Looking back, I consider the execution less successful than I had hoped. The typeface was created digitally without initial hand sketches, and as a result the outlines had the appearance of manipulated vectors rather than hand-drawn forms. Even after later refinements, it lacked the organic quality I had intended.

Styrofoam Feelings was initially released with a free commercial desktop license. In August 2020, I placed it into the public domain.
