FontShop.com sports a new home page. The thoughtful redesign improves the look and accessibility of the site’s front door, furthering FontShop’s goal of helping designers find fonts and inspiration. “Sourcing type is the most important function of FontShop.com, so we’ve moved all the search and browse options to a handy sidebar on the right,” said Stephen Coles, FontShop Glyph Pusher. “Visitors can stroll through our virtual font shelves by name, category, foundry, or designer. And you can search by sight with our unique TypeNavigator.”
Now that all the font finding features are consolidated in the search bar, what will go in its former place? Content. Useful, interesting, thoughtful, and inspiring content. With this new home page, FontShop introduces the FontFeed: https://www.fontshop.com/fontfeed – a frequent update of what’s new at FontShop and around the world of design and typography. “Graphic designers can visit the FontFeed several times a week to ogle the web’s best in typographic design, pick up tips on working with type, and discover some our favorite underrated fonts,” said Coles. “The FontFeed is food for the creative brain.”
Also new at FontShop.com this month is a free font from Holland Fonts. We Love Your is made from designer Max Kisman’s collection of random, everyday objects. Silhouettes of hinges, can openers, spark lugs, nails, and fishing weights mimic the shapes of letters and inspire us to discover the alphabet in the mundane. The font is a free download throughout the month of September at https://www.fontshop.com/freefonts.
