 Spiekermann wrote an article on the abandoned design for Baseline magazine in 1986.At this time Meta was called PT55 (for the regular weight) and PT75 (bold).Years later, realizing that Bundespost and Sedley Place Design would never utilize the typeface, Spiekermann with his company MetaDesign decided to continue work on the typeface and eventually published it—along with other orphaned typefaces—under his newly formed publishing label FontFont resulting in the release of FF Meta in 1991.
