As we continue to improve our website, FontShop returns to the medium for which we are known best: print. Online tools are handy for finding and sampling fonts, but type is best seen in ink on paper and we’re not about to abandon the printed page. From FontBook to Font magazine, design professionals around the world turn to FontShop publications for reference and inspiration. The latest editions to the FontShop print library are Font 007 and a new reference guide: FontBooklet. |

FontShop’s annual publication of design and typography is back with Font 007: Rule Makers/Rule Breakers. |
|
|||
Editor Amos Klausner and art critic Glen Helfand explore the concept of generative art while designer Conor Mangat returns to infuse the stories and font showings with his impeccable type chops and crisp wit. See more from this issue of Font below. |

|
A wide cross section of artists and designers are channeling an incessant flow of ideas and information through filters and toward the creation of generative art. |
|||
|
We also feature graphic designers and typographers who are using generative concepts to map ideas, from individual letters to complex narratives. |

|
As always, Font spotlights the personalities behind several foundries in the FontShop family and brings you the best new typeface releases from all our collections. |

Most type was meant to be seen on paper. It’s with that knowledge that we present FontBooklets — a series of printed specimens that give ample space and tribute to the best fonts for professional typography. |
|
|||
Unlike a throw-away catalog, FontBooklets are filled with typefaces chosen purely on their merits, not as part of any marketing scheme or in response to the latest trend. Keep them near your desk and put the tactile joy back into type selection. |

Shown here are morsels of FontBooklet No. 1. If you missed it you can still find an online version. Don’t miss volume No. 2, which is in production now and will be on the press shortly. |
So what’s black and yellow and read all over? FontShop printed goodies are, of course. And now you can add green to the palette, too: everything we produce at FontShop San Francisco uses recycled or FSC-certified paper, and environmentally-friendly inks. We believe in top notch publishing, but we’ll do our best to relieve the planet while we’re at it. |
