More FontShop Blogs!
The FontFeed is not the only FontShop blog. Representatives from FontShop Germany and Benelux also have their own venues for typographic observation and inspiration.
Fontblog – www.fontblog.de
Jürgen Siebert has been with FontShop since its near beginnings in 1991, when he joined to help build the FontShop network. He began his career as co-founder of Germany’s leading graphic design magazine PAGE, in which he still pens a regular column. Now the head of FontShop Germany, Jürgen produces pages of quality content on his FontBlog every week for those lucky enough to read German.
Recent Fontblog highlights:
- Dispatches from TYPO Berlin 2006
- FontShop Germany’s Free Font: Trivia
- New FontBook Hot Off the Press
Unzipped – www.fontshop.be
This week, FontShop Benelux was blessed with a brand new blog, featuring the thoughtful musings of Yves Peters. Yves has been my typographic brother-in-arms for years as a moderator at Typophile and contributor to Typographica. But, like Jürgen, his history with FontShop goes back much further — he witnessed the birth of FontShop Benelux in 1991. Yves’ Unzipped writings will appear in Dutch with occasional French and English translations.
Recent Unzipped highlights:
- Quagmire for Pepsi Max (check out the slick TypeTester)
- Fonts in Film
The FontFeed is a daily dispatch of recommended fonts, typography techniques, and inspirational examples of digital type at work in the real world. Eat up.

Thanks for the props, Stewf. :) I’d like to add that English language versions of my tutorials — similar to “The Worn/Weathered/Stamped Look” — will appear here shortly after the Dutch versions have been published on Unzipped.
And how I wish I could properly read and understand German — I miss half of the fun. Jürgen never fails to impress me with the sheer amount and quality of his posts.
