I released Radios in Motion on October 16, 1999. The typeface was created at the request of a hobbyist who wanted a tool for teaching Morse code. Each letter and numeral was represented by its Morse code sequence of dots and dashes, with the corresponding character displayed below. I also produced an alternate version, Radios in Motion Hard, which omitted the letters and numerals for those who wanted to practice decoding directly from the symbols.
The base characters were adapted from my Larabiefont design. The name came from the song “Radios in Motion” by XTC, chosen for its connection to radio communication.
Radios in Motion was distributed with a free commercial use desktop license for many years. In November 2022, I placed it in the public domain.
