font magazine online Issue 004 - FiFFteen
In 1990, Neville Brody and Erik Spiekermann founded FontFont, a type library created “by designers for designers.” It quickly became a haven for type connoisseurs and a digital playground for creative wizards worldwide.
Fifteen years and more than 3,500 fonts later, FontFont is still setting standards, pushing limits, and influencing new generations. While a decade-and-a-half might seem like a relatively short time in the history of the centuries-old type game, it’s a lifetime in the technology age.
FontShop is celebrating this 15-year anniversary with an exhibition documenting FontFont’s history and extraordinary impact on design. The show opened in London in November 2004, then visited Manchester, Berlin, and New York. FiFFteen will travel to other venues in the coming months. Next year, Dutch designer and writer Jan Middendorp will publish a book exploring the FontFont universe.
