This is the story of FontShop, founded 30 years ago by Joan and Erik Spiekermann in Berlin. FontShop was the first manufacturer-independent font supplier, and since its inception in 1989, FontShop’s talented team of type enthusiasts have pioneered a string of highly influential projects, including the experimental font box FUSE, the FontBook catalogue, and the esteemed FontFont font library. As FontShop celebrates its 30th anniversary, let’s take a look back at its early days and see how this group of designers reinvented the curating and distribution of digital typefaces.
