Big news for the typography in the Big Apple: NYC Mayor Bloomburg has declared July 18–24 to be "Type Week" in New York. No, we ain’t kiddin’, and FontShop will be there to celebrate in a big way. Free lectures and events, TypeCon, even a typographic scavenger hunt — it's all happening next week in NYC.
	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 »
	FontHunt — Snap Type. Snag Cash. Calling all font freaks! You know who you are — routinely identifying the typeface on your restaurant menu, calling out bad kerning wherever you go, standing in open awe of great old signage — you love type and we want to reward you for it. Document the typography of the city and win cash prizes. Not a type nerd? You don’t need to be an expert to participate in FontHunt. We’ll provide detailed instructions and decode the lingo. All you need is a digital camera and a small team of urban voyeurs. Sign up to be a FontHunter »
