FiFFteen: 15 Years of Type for Independent Minds FontFont is turning fifteen. To honor this remarkable milestone in digital typography, we’ve organized an exhibition — FiFFteen: 15 years of type for independent minds. The show celebrates the FontFont library and the relationships and inspirations that have made it possible. FiFFteen also features FUSE, the seminal publication on experimental typography. The exhibition will be mounted at The One Club July 20–August 10. Co-founders Erik Spiekermann and Neville Brody will be in New York to kick off FiFFteen with an evening of presentations at the Fashion Institute of Technology on Wednesday, July 20. Be there. It’s free! More FiFFteen info and images » | ||||
