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. 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. We assume that 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 a license for the fonts listed below you have to direct your questions to LettError Type. This includes any fonts used on your website!
For now, we carefully took the classic titles off the shelf, dusted them off, and retouched them and made them available again as the LettError fonts they truely always were.
Check the release notes for the current release and recent changes to our collection.

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 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. |
