What's up at FontShop.com, from
new and recommended fonts to website features, plus the latest ideas and inspiration from the FontFeed.
Bauhaus
The Bauhaus was famous for its approach to design favoring simplified forms, rationality, and functionality. Here are some typefaces created from and inspired by that school of thought.
DIN Alternatives
We’re obviously partial to DIN here at FontShop, but sometimes you want something softer, or more humanistic, or with some additional details for display settings.
Distressed Type
It’s often best to apply a post effect to make type appear authentically aged, but a pre-distressed typeface can be handy. Here are fonts that come weathered, stamped, or otherwise beaten up right out of the box.

New Navigation Bar
Noticed a cleaner, more functional FontShop lately? As we continue to add new products, features, and content, it was time to rethink the way you get to all that stuff.
So what’s changed? We’ve reduced the main navigation tabs at the top of the site to the three cores of our offering: Fonts, Blog (news and ideas), and Help (support and services). The new “Get Started” area of the homepage summarizes those options.
This opened up space in the site-wide nav for the personal account links which should now be familiar from the bottom of each newsletter: your History, Favorites, and Cart.
Our new nav bar, along with the updated left nav and footer, will help you get to what you need quickly and maybe even introduce you to parts of FontShop you missed before. Let us know what you think!
