I released Wee Bairn on May 28, 2000. The design was influenced by the Playskool logo, which I expanded into a full alphabet with rounded, childlike forms. The typeface was intended to capture the friendly, toy-like qualities of that lettering.
In 2011, I revised Wee Bairn, updating and refining the letterforms. It was initially distributed with a free commercial desktop license. In November 2022, I placed Wee Bairn into the public domain.
