I released Vectroid on June 19, 2000 as a derivative of my earlier typeface Forgotten Futurist. I modified the original by introducing gaps into the strokes, thickening some lines, thinning others, and applying a rounded bold effect. The result was a geometric display face with a heavier, more experimental character than its source.
From the beginning, Vectroid was available under a free commercial-use desktop license. It was designed strictly as a display typeface and has not appeared in notable projects.
On November 1, 2022, I placed Vectroid in the public domain. That release was a licensing change only; the design itself has not been updated since its original release.
