I released World of Water on August 8, 1998. The design combined elements of Art Deco with the angular style of late twentieth-century techno lettering. The name came from the song “World of Water” by the band New Musik, which suggested a connection to the new wave aesthetic that influenced the typeface.

The first version did not achieve the elegance I was aiming for, so I later redrew the typeface from the ground up. The revision blended geometric Art Deco features with a more digital, futuristic look. In April 2024, I released World of Water into the public domain.
