I released Superglue on October 14, 1996. It was an attempt to capture the look of Japanese corporate techno aesthetics from the 1970s, though it was not based on a specific source. The original version had noticeable technical flaws, including inconsistent stem widths and misaligned baselines and cap lines. At the time, I was still early in learning the fundamentals of typeface design, and the spacing was also underdeveloped.
I later revisited Superglue, correcting alignment issues and refining the outlines. An additional feature was the implementation of OpenType substitutions that allowed certain slanted characters, such as A, V, and W, to be flipped for alternate forms.
Superglue was initially released with a free commercial desktop license. In November 2022, I placed it into the public domain.
