I highly recommend Kai’s book on the making of Neutral. Excerpts will be published in the next issue of the SOTA publication Interrobang which will be available at TypeCon in Seattle.

It looks like a well constructed font, based on a well constructed philosophy. Given that his intended audience includes primarily the conceptual artist (from Kai’s book), the idealogical underpinnings are sure to appeal. That said, I don’t think it really adds anything new to the typographic landscape. Hats off to him though, I’ll wager he learned a bundle in the process (ed. I did from reading the book excerpt, thanks for that). Congratulations on it’s release. — R

This has come up here before, but I can’t find the thread.
I bought a copy of the book at the time.
