Made with FontFont commemorates the fifteen-year anniversary of the groundbreaking digital type foundry FontShop International. Edited by FSI co-founder Erik Spiekermann and Dutch writer-designer Jan Middendorp, the colorful compendium is actually an anthology of type specimens and essays closely and creatively examining how FontFont operates. Each page is truly a visual treat -- designed by typography designers after all, testifying to this foundry's influence on the trends of type and typography. It's truly a book created by "designers for designers.The 351 pages are divided into five chapters revealing the essence of and its legacy: Thinking FontFont, Talking FontFont, Making FontFont, Showing FontFont, Made with FontFont. These heavily illustrated sections demonstrate the dynamic range of the FontFont typefaces, which have been used for everything from instructions for wearing an Indian sari to the packaging for Viagra.
