Bad news, good news! Fust&Friends will leave the platform. Read why! We also want to share our entire collection at a ridiculous price, to make our typefaces accessible for those who like the fonts, but had no client to finance them — we can help. fustandfriends.com/type-libr…

Belgian maverick designer-musician Tom Hautekiet (1970-2020). So sad. My obituary is now on the Eye Blog.

Anybody interested in a copy of our semi-factual Linotype history? It’s a bargain!

Fust&Friends, information page. Here's screenshot, as only few of you will have seen it. I hope it made you grin.
My favorite type writing: stuff that makes you grin. Getting rare. Self-praise promo, most of it. Oh, and Fust may close down later this year … with a final promo.

Uncanny: the two magazines for which I wrote long new articles, originally planned a few months apart, arrived today, brought simultaneously to my doorstep by a postman or DHL courier (same company here). That’s not a coincidence, that must be the … my … a holy … a cosmic …

For those who live in or near Riga, the Latvian capital, or plan to visit: Mr. Page is the place to go for a permanent exhibition of books they find meaningful. My Dutch Type (> @DutchTypeJam) — is winking from their shelves since a few days. spottedbylocals.com/riga/mr-… (2/2)

Some nice pics if the #colortype #typecolor #letterpress #workshop we did last week. @GrafischWA It was wonderful with lots of color and very nice results! #novotypo #markvanwageningen #colorfonts #chromatictypography – at Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Many thanks to all participants! The result of my pop-up survey is crystal clear: The forthcoming book should be 21st-Century Dutch Type. It will probably become a new Kickstarter campaign.

Alejandro Lo Celso’s tribute to Gerard Unger is a beautiful portrait of the man and of his work. If you haven’t had the fortune to meet Gerard in person, this article will give you a glimpse into what he was like. Thanks, @alelocelso! pampatype.com/blog/gerard-un…

Possibly the loveliest Dutch-Type-Has-Arrived picture I received. Few weeks ago, but still the best, including the comment: “A new edition for a new generation”. Many thanks, hartelijk dank, Jan – Blinky – Van Kamp&Hout!

It’s still their best-kept secret, but the conference program for #atypi2018 in Antwerp is now online. I think this is going to be a wonderful clash, no: meeting, of technologies.

Best buy on a flea market since years: two hand-lettered book-jackets by forgotten master Werner Rebhuhn, both from 1960!

Welcome @behdadesfahbod. I hope you know this is my socio-political account and that type news and rumours and stories are dealt with by my alter egos @DutchTypeJam and @Fustandfriends 😌
