From Neil Summerour:
From time to time, Chris would approach me with technical problems relating to the build of fonts for the numerous projects he was dealing with. For many years, I have actually had the ability to assist with some terrific work for R.E.M. and Green Day. I ultimately approached Chris, asking him to release these to the general public ... in each case, the typefaces would require considerable engineering, creation of missing out on glyphs and diacritics to make the providing preferred internationally-- I was more than happy to do this in order to make these readily available. Three font styles were selected for the collection. Each are texturally special and wonderful representations of the kinetic and interpretative qualities type, design and music can produce.
