About:
The Android Insomnia typeface originated with an earlier, round sans serif typeface that I called Round One. The forms of the Round One letters were readable, but not interesting. So I decided to experiment with removing parts of the character shapes and came up with a typeface that looked more like a science fiction title font. It is free for commercial use.
The name of the font comes from a line I wrote parodying the title of Philip K. Dick’s novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? My version was, “Do insomniac androids dream of electric sleep?”

Uses:
Most prominently, Android Insomnia appeared in the “Extremis” episode of Doctor Who (Season/Series 10 Episode 6, May 2017) as the typeface for the Doctor’s sonic sunglasses.
