You haven’t seen a new #typeface from us @fontwerk for a while. But we hope that our new, very special, pretty massive #font project will make up for the wait. It was another fantastic team effort, but more on that later. First, let me introduce the superfamily itself: Tausend.
Ich hab das mal schnell gefixt …

Bis auf wenige Ausnahmen wünschte ich, die Wahlkampfteams der Bundestagswahl hätten meinen zwar etwas betagten, aber weiterhin gültigen Artikel zu „Schrift in der Wahlwerbung“ gelesen. Trotz achtlos ausgewählter Fonts, ich werde wählen.

Fontwerk 2.0 – the new website https://fontwerk.com, the new Base License, the new Trial Fonts and the new Education License – feels like my biggest project so far. I hope this is not a question of age … ;) I am so happy that it’s finally out. Huge thank you to everyone involved!

I’ve just discovered a photo of Dresden’s Carola Bridge on my memory card, which I took a month before it collapsed (from below). Everything still looked pretty normal …

One of the most important projects for me personally, and ultimately one of the projects that gave Fontwerk its identity, is my good friend @koeberlin’s continuously growing #PangeaTypeface. We have just published version 3, which contains three narrower widths.

I’m already looking forward to the next updates.

How do you like Pangea? Can you imagine using it? What are you missing?

Yesterday, the great Dieter Rams received an if Design Lifetime Achievement Award. We were there and picked up our (normal) award for the Neue DIN typeface project.

Our latest typeface Push is out. I hope you like it.

Even after all these years, it is always an exciting moment to release a typeface into the world. In the end, the work you put in together as a team* is always much greater than you initially think.

*The team: Christine Gertsch, Andreas Frohloff, Anja Meiners, Olli Meier, Rocket & Wink, Ferdinand Ulrich, Lucy Beckley, myself

I love working with such talented and passionate creatives. Thank you fellas!

When I saw McQueen (then still ‘Phily’) for the first time, I immediately fell in love with the typeface. Unsurprisingly, McQueen went on to become one of the most popular fonts in the Fontwerk library. So it was clear that we would now give it an extensive update and extension. Now McQueen 2.0 is finally complete and I can hardly wait to see it used in the wild.

So why don’t you try out the two families McQueen and McQueen Grotesk and let me know what you think?

Even if the game of ‘my team’ of #EintrachtBraunschweig yesterday once again resembled a medium tragedy, it was nice to have been live in the stadium in ‘my city’ Berlin again. #BSCEBS #ImmerBlauGelb #WirSindEintracht
