Developed by Kai Bernau beginning in 2005 as part of his graduation project at KABK (Royal Academy of Fine Arts) in The Hague, Netherlands. Since its original conception for that project, Neutral has been much improved and expanded. First released as Neutral BP with Buechi et Party (now Swiss Typefaces) in 2007. Between 2010 and 2014, Neutral has been completely redrawn, extended, and manually hinted for the screen and released by Typotheque in 2014.
