In 1990 Erik Spiekermann and Neville Brody set up the FontFont letter-library, a collection of lettertypes from designers for designers. The no-nonsense letters in the collection were responsible for much innovation in the design world; from the functionality of the sans-serf FF Meta, FF DIN and FF Profile to the contemporary refining of the neo-traditional romans such as FF Scala, FF Quadraat and FF Celeste; from the ingenious geometry of the FF Minimum & FF Typeface Six to the 'streetwise' types FF Hands, FF Trixie and FF Blur.
"Made with FontFont" is a large scale overview of 15 years of 'cutting-edge' letter designing; containing essays over the individual letters, interviews with the designers, special type-specimens and examples of the letters in use. It also includes contributions especially made for the publication by Erik van Blokland, Alessio Leonardi, Reza Abedini, Yang Liu, Wim Westerveld, Jaap van Triest and Studio Dumbar, and, exceptional usage of FontFonts by the designers Paula Scher, Neville Brody, Max Kisman and Cosmic.
