Choosing type can be one of the typographer’s most enjoyable endeavors. However, with the thousands of options available today, it can be also be a daunting task – thus the impulse to go online. The Web is a wonderful thing for finding fonts; it’s ideal for searching and sampling, and FontShop.com features advanced preview tools that show every single glyph of each font we sell.



In the end though, and despite the ubiquity of text on the Web, most type was meant to be seen on paper. And it’s with that knowledge that we present the first in a series of printed specimens that give ample space and tribute to the best typefaces for professional typography from the FontShop library. But unlike a throw-away catalog, FontBooklets are filled with typefaces chosen purely on their merits, not as part of any marketing scheme or in response to the latest trend. So keep your FontBooklets near your desk and put the tactile joy back into type selection.



FontBooklet features the following fonts; all killer, no filler:
· Arnhem™ | Fred Smeijers
· FF Clifford™ | Akira Kobayashi
· Corpid™ | Luc(as) de Groot
· FP Dancer™ | Morten Olsen
· Lisboa Sans™ | Ricardo Santos
· FF Maiola™ | Veronika Burian
· ITC Mendoza® | José Mendoza
· FF Meta®Serif | Christian Schwartz · Erik Spiekermann · Kris Sowersby
· Pragma™ ND | Chris Burke
· Proxima Nova™ | Mark Simonson
· FF Quadraat® | Fred Smeijers
· RePublic™ | Tomas Brousil · Stanislav Maršo
· Whitman™ | Kent Lew
We’ve perforated the pages so you can compare fonts as though in a flickbook – or not. Tear it or treasure it: you choose. Interesting detail: the text used for the sample settings are background information on the typefaces.

That's the thing -- usually these type flip books have all the usual suspects, like Times and Helvetica and Palatino and Futura and all that tired old stuff. This one shows really exciting, new designs.

Looks great, but as resident of Japan, you're teasing me. Like that the 'dummy text' is not so dumb. And very pleased to see FF Maiola and Whitman in there.

As Allison commented, contact info@fontshop.com and I'm sure they'll send you one. Unzipped caters only for Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxemburg and France, but FontShop delivers worldwide.

Hey Yves. Thanks for your back-up! But you've made a small mistake. We can only deliver in the BeNeLux, so Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg. Fans from France need to send their requests to info@fontshop.com
