I released Teen on May 30, 2001. It was unusual for me because it was a collaboration. Martin Archer provided a complete alphabet, though it included little punctuation or symbols. I expanded on it by adding bold and italic styles, which I generated manually rather than mechanically. Together, we ended up with light, regular, bold, and italic styles. The design leaned on superelliptical shapes, a tall x-height, and a casual rhythm that gave it a 1960s look.

Teen was first released with a free commercial-use desktop license. I distributed it through my own channels, but as was common at the time, most of the major free font sites picked it up quickly. Martin left the licensing decisions to me, and over time we lost contact. In April 2024, I placed Teen into the public domain so that anyone could use it without restriction.

Teen never appeared in notable projects but remained part of my catalog as an example of a collaborative design.
