From Neil Summerour:

From time to time, Chris would approach me with technical concerns regarding the develop of fonts for the numerous jobs he was dealing with. Over the years, I have actually been able to aid with some fantastic work for R.E.M. and Green Day. I eventually approached Chris, asking him to launch these to the general public ... in each case, the font styles would require substantial engineering, development of missing out on glyphs and diacritics to make the using better globally-- I was more than happy to do this in order to make these offered. Three font styles were chosen for the collection. Each are texturally distinct and fantastic representations of the kinetic and interpretative qualities type, style and music can produce.
