I released Edmunds on May 6, 2000. It was a display typeface with a deliberately silly, cartoonish character. Structurally it was a slab serif, but I distorted the letterforms to the point of absurdity. The B, D, and R were especially odd, drawn with exaggerated, ungainly shapes that set the tone for the whole design. I named it after rocker Dave Edmunds, choosing the name for its rockabilly association rather than for any direct connection to the design.

From the start, I offered two styles: Regular and Distressed. Both were released at the same time and licensed for free commercial use, making the font widely accessible. Over the years, I noticed it crop up occasionally in packaging, toys, and video games, though I never tracked specific examples. It seemed to work best in contexts where a lighthearted or goofy look was wanted.

In November 2022, I placed Edmunds in the public domain. It was always meant as a playful experiment, and while it has no major claims to fame, I like that it has found a place in unexpected corners of design.
