Welcome to the New FontFeed
Welcome to the new — and dare I say improved — FontÂFeed. Some of you who are already regÂuÂlar readÂers might argue this is hardly new. Indeed, the FontÂFeed had a good run for over three years at its origÂiÂnal home over at FontShop.com. Yet this new incarÂnaÂtion is difÂferÂent. Spawned from the creÂative mind of interÂnaÂtionÂally renowned type perÂsonÂalÂity Erik SpiekÂerÂmann, this blog brings together the typoÂgraphic insight of three authors: FontShop USA Type DirecÂtor and TypoÂgraphÂica editor Stephen Coles, promiÂnent design writer Jürgen Siebert of Font​blog.de, and Yves Peters of Unzipped and Typog​ra​pher.org.
The other obviÂous change: the FontÂFeed now has its own webÂsite. Although it is still sponÂsored by FontShop InterÂnaÂtional, it will have an indeÂpenÂdent voice, free of any comÂmerÂcial restraints.
This blog will serve design novices and seaÂsoned proÂfesÂsionÂals alike. We will pubÂlish a variÂety of type related conÂtent in the form of origÂiÂnal artiÂcles and recurÂring feaÂtures. By proÂvidÂing transÂlaÂtions of selected posts by Jürgen Siebert, an English-​speaking audiÂence will for the first time get access to conÂtent from one of the most sucÂcessÂful type blogs, Font​blog.de.
Along with delivÂerÂing advice and inspiÂraÂtion, our goal is to add a perÂcepÂtive voice to the type comÂmuÂnity, bridgÂing the gap between font users and font supÂpliÂers. We hope to stimÂuÂlate interÂacÂtion and kick start a valuÂable and lastÂing disÂcourse between all parÂties, so don’t hesÂiÂtate to let us know your thoughts. Keep up-to-date with new FontÂFeed conÂtent: subÂscribe via RSS or via email at right.

Hey guys!
This is a brilÂliant idea. From this very day I have it bookÂmarked. I wish you all the luck. I’s just so sure this will be a popÂuÂlar corner of the “typo-​world”.
Salute!

Woohoo. Great news. Rock on, Yves. ;)
WonÂderÂful, conÂgratÂuÂlaÂtions to The United Powers of TypoÂgraphic News.
♬ Typo Tag Team, back again, check it top. Wreck it & let’s begin! ♬
Just a pity that uberblog.com was already taken (although that has some great conÂtent, too, as Jens cerÂtainly will conÂfirm).
But ueber​font​blog.com is still availÂable!
