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…

Dutch Type, now more affordable across the board. Get it at Typotheque, Dutch Typy Library or, when in Germany, Slanted

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.

Fust & Friends say goodbye to the decade by offering our entire library at an impossibly reasonable price. What’s even crazier: the first 10 buyers receive this very special Bundle at -75%! The link: gumroad.com/l/NOEto/fustotal…

Great work, guys (and lady)! Congratulations, done very well this year. See also my forthcoming article on new platforms in the next @eyemagazine !
We are one year old today! In that time we’ve released 67 amazing typefaces from 40 foundries! Thank you to everyone who has supported us and our weird ideas! It has been an amazing journey so far, and we’re super excited for the years to come!

Gotta decide one of these days if with the current handicapped distribution practice, a new, small and playful foundry like Fust’s can exist without a constant investment in R, D & PR. Meanwhile, here’s a look at our collection of typographic candy. fustandfriends.com/collectio…

(“Dingen” is Dutch for Things. The full title of this Indonesian novel by a Dutch lady writer is “The Ten Thousand Things”. Which is close to the number of things in the collection. Maybe.)

Early this summer, New Delhi talent @KhyatiTrehan, temporarily in Berlin, made an impressive series of virtual 3D concrete sculptures featuring F&F’s Alarm font. Typeface by Heinz König (1928) and Andreas Seidel (2017). Back info here: fustandfriends.com/fonts/ala…

Lovely American bastard blackletter! I have it because I joined DJR’s FOTM Club.
September’s installment of fontofthemonth.club is Bradley DJR, a revival of ATF’s 1895 fairytale blackletter based on the lettering of Will H. Bradley. More examples to come, but for now, club members check your inboxes! 💌
