I released Zrnic on December 19, 1999. It began as a single regular style influenced by the PlayStation logo, though I put my own spin on it rather than copying directly. The letterforms were boxy and segmented, intended to capture a late-1990s techno feel. That first style was offered as a free download.

In the 2010s, I expanded Zrnic into a larger family. Most of the characters were redrawn during the process, and the expansion introduced multiple weights and italics. Unlike the original, the new styles were not free, although the regular weight has remained available at no cost. I designed the family to work for both text and display use, balancing its modular look with readability.

Zrnic has not been used in notable projects or branding, but it has gone through technical refinements. In November 2021, I corrected an error that caused the bold style to disappear in some older applications. In November 2024, I fixed issues with italic and bold style flags, renamed Ultra-Light to Thin for consistency, and corrected numeric weight values. I also repaired a vector problem in the breve accent for Bold and Bold Italic and addressed an overlap issue in the Semi-Bold Italic “A.” All updates were distributed automatically to existing licensees.
