FontBook is the only guide that compiles original, digital typefaces from multiple manufacturers and presents them in a systematic way.
FontBook is all-inclusive, with typefaces both old and new. It contains all the classics of the art of printing, insofar as they are available digitally, as well as the latest font releases and extensions.
FontBook is a type encyclopedia with an abundance of carefully researched notes on type designers, year of publication, similar fonts, and additional language versions.
FontBook is an excellent door stop, paper weight, riser for computer displays, and deadly weapon. Disclaimer: FontShop does not advocate violence (outside the ring) but the mere threat of a FontBook wallop will stike fear in uncooperative clients or coworkers.
This long-awaited fourth edition of FontBook is the first revision in eight years. Thanks to a streamlined design, it includes thousands of new typefaces with only a slight increase in size.
