After FontFont

On April 1, 2023 the last remaining distribution agreement with Monotype ended. It was a moment to reflect on the decades that connected me to Berlin. It was a pleasure to work with FontShop and the FontFont library sure kicked ass in those days. So many brilliant minds, focussed engineers, writers, dedicated designers, marketers and organisers!

As a result there are some changes in the availability, and in some cases name changes as well. This page explains it all. Rest assured, the licenses sold by FontShop, Monotype and MyFonts will continue to be valid, under whatever conditions are spelled out in your original license. However, if you need to change or update such a license, you have to direct your questions to LettError Type.

For now, we’re dusting the old fonts off, and perhaps adding a lick of paint. They will be in the LettError Type foundry soon.

Check the release notes for the current release and recent changes to our collection.

FontShop (Monotype)	LettError Type	Available
The LettError typewriter Part of the FontFont Library, 1991-2023. Strange, right? They do not own the design. But even mentioning the old name as part of a trademark attribution might already be an infraction.	LTR NCND “Neither Confirm Nor Deny”. We absolutely own the designs and we love the badass new name: NCND is a registered trademark of LettError Type.	Buy LTR NCND Variable Available as of April 3, 2023
	LTR NCND Classic The original HD, Rough and Pro editions.	Buy LTR NCND Classic Available as of July 18, 2023
FF Zapata	LTR Slab Extended A new, delightfully generic name. This time not motivated by silly trademark machinations. But this typeface has nothing to do with Mexican / American history and its name should not allude to that either.	Buy LTR Slab Extended Available as of July 8, 2023
FF Kosmik	LTR Kosmik Charming, hand-lettered Sans. More adventures of TypoMan	Buy LTR Kosmik Available as of August 1, 2023
