Johanna Hörrmann@hitext @erikspiekermann @nilshoerrmann A link to the Typostammtisch Berlin event website would be nice, no? Here you go!

Looking forward to the 111. Berliner Typostammtisch next Thursday, an evening filled with everything FontShop! Jürgen Siebert @hitext, Erik Spiekermann @erikspiekermann and Ivo Gabrowitsch will be on stage for a panel discussion. I'll leave my FontBook at home, but hope to unearth an ancient CD-ROM in time, plus a few paper goodies … and maybe your floppy disk, @nilshoerrmann? :D Fun. Who else is coming?
Typographica@FontsInUse just removed all the (now dead) FontShop links from our typeface pages. Suddenly, the shirt I happen to be wearing today takes on new meaning. :(
I'm sad to see a beautiful type website disappear tomorrow. Goodbye, FontShop.

Dagger ☀️RIP #FontShop 🪦 -- Na dann gute Nacht.
Rainer KluteThe Future of FontShop … is no future.
Das war leider abzusehen. Schade, dass damit ein herausragender »Player« in der Geschichte der Computer-Schriften von der Bildfläche verschwindet. Ich habe damals™ noch Schriften auf Diskette erworben; vor allem die experimentellen, abgedrehten hatten es mir angetan. Waren das nicht damals die ersten mit FF im Namen? Kann isch jemand erinnern?
