The new foundries keep rolling in at FontShop. Jos Buivenga is a self-taught type designer based in Arnhem, the Netherlands, and the founder of the exljbris font foundry. Just like Flat-It Type Foundry his popular typefaces offer very good value for money, and what’s more – he offers one weight per family absolutely free. And it works, because after having tried this one weight users usually come back for more.

There’s no better way to start a fresh new year – don’t be fooled: the decade ends on December 31st, 2010 ;) – than with a batch of fresh new FontFonts. This release features the beautiful and useful FF Yoga family with sans and serif partners, a pictorial companion for FF Mister K, and a whole batch of new Office FontFonts. Unrelated but interesting nonetheless – we’re also offering a useful mix of 25 pan-European Linotype fonts at an unusually low price. |

Today – Tuesday June 30th, 2009 – is the very last day you can purchase Erik Spiekermann’s latest typeface for the promotional price of €19,90. Axel is an economical, highly legible font family optimized for on-screen use in office apps such as Microsoft Excel. From tomorrow on the family will cost €79,90 (both prices exclusive of VAT). So don’t waste any time and get Axel while it’s still so cheap! |

When FontShop BeNeLux sales asked me to announce the new Linotype GoldEdition 2.0 Font Collection I decided not to just post the promotional text, but to provide a little context as well. Find out why – as a beginning freelance graphic designer all those years ago – I decided to purchase a full library myself. Read on, and check the special promotion on the Linotype GoldEdition 2.0 while you’re at it. |

In the era of metal and wood type, fonts were designed specifically for the size at which they were to be used. With the dawn of scalable digital type, any font could be used at any size, and the time honoured mastering process was abandoned. As a result, many designs suffer in this new age of convenience: display fonts are often too ornate or fragile at small sizes; text fonts are clunky and dull when set large. Fortunately, recent type design has learned from the past, and we are now seeing a return to the practice of optical size mastering. FontBooklet 2 showcases a few of our favourites.

It’s more than seven centimetres thick, weighs in at a whopping three kilos and features three bookmark ribbons – a black, a yellow and a white one. No wonder FontBook has been dubbed ‘the bible of digital typography’ by the (typo)graphic community. FontShop BeNeLux is having a special promotion for the end of the year: get FontBook for € 99,- all included (this means you get free shipping and pay no VAT, the equivalent of at least € 20,- reduction).

We hebben besloten een uitzonderlijke promotie te houden voor onze trouwste lezers, want zeg nu zelf: wie leest er Unzipped (a) op een zondag en (b) op oudejaar? Je maakt kans om Made with FontFont volledig gratis toegestuurd te krijgen. Als dat geen mooi eindejaarsgeschenk is.

Eindelijk is ie er: Made with FontFont, het boek van mijn voorganger (redacteur van Druk) Jan Middendorp en FontFont-opperhoofd Erik Spiekermann. Het resultaat ziet er ronduit schitterend uit, en om de uitgave te vieren houden we een speciale promotie.
