Jürgen Siebert has been with FontShop since its near beginÂnings in 1991, when he joined to help build the FontShop netÂwork. He began his career as co-​founder of Germany’s leadÂing graphic design magÂaÂzine PAGE, in which he still pens a regÂuÂlar column. Now the head of FontShop GerÂmany, Jürgen proÂduces pages of qualÂity conÂtent on his FontÂBlog every week for those lucky enough to read German.
Recent FontÂblog highlights:
- DisÂpatches from TYPO Berlin 2006
- FontShop Germany’s Free Font: Trivia
- New FontÂBook Hot Off the Press

This week, FontShop Benelux was blessed with a brand new blog, feaÂturÂing the thoughtÂful musÂings of Yves Peters. Yves has been my typoÂgraphic brother-in-arms for years as a modÂerÂaÂtor at Typophile and conÂtribÂuÂtor to TypoÂgraphÂica. But, like Jürgen, his hisÂtory with FontShop goes back much furÂther — he witÂnessed the birth of FontShop Benelux in 1991. Yves’ Unzipped writÂings will appear in Dutch with occaÂsional French and EngÂlish translations.
Recent Unzipped highlights:
- QuagÂmire for Pepsi Max (check out the slick TypeTester)
- Fonts in Film

Thanks for the props, Stewf. :) I’d like to add that EngÂlish lanÂguage verÂsions of my tutoÂriÂals — simÂiÂlar to “The Worn/Weathered/Stamped Look” — will appear here shortly after the Dutch verÂsions have been pubÂlished on Unzipped.
And how I wish I could propÂerly read and underÂstand German — I miss half of the fun. Jürgen never fails to impress me with the sheer amount and qualÂity of his posts.
