Book Giveaway: Made with FontFont - Type for Independent Minds

July 30, 2009

When we talk about Erik Spiekermann and Neville Brody we must be talking about a really cool thing right? Yes we are probably talking about FontFont, the type foundry they founded in 1990, and the huge amount of innovative and influential fonts that we seel all over. As I said in my last article, text is the solid form of expression of the language and, of course typography is all about that too. Because of that we are giving away a copy of the book Made with FontFont: Type for Independent Minds

Founded in 1990 by Erik Spiekermann and Neville Brody, FontFont produces innovative and influential fonts by designers, for designers. Made with FontFont is an anthology of type specimens and essays closely and creatively examining how FontFont operates, to elucidate how this relative newcomer on the type design scene has made such an impression on the trends of type and typography.

The 368 pages are divided into five chapters revealing the essence of FontFont and its legacy: Thinking FontFont, Talking FontFont, Making FontFont, Showing FontFont, Made with FontFont. These heavily illustrated sections demonstrate the dynamic range of the FontFont typefaces, which have been used for everything from instructions for wearing an Indian sari to the packaging for Viagra.

Made with FontFont reads like a Who’s Who of contemporary designers and design writers. Contributions from Akira Kobayashi, Rian Hughes, Emily King, Ellen Lupton and Reza Abedini, among others, including FontFont’s founders, of course, will educate and inspire anyone with an interest in contemporary graphic design.

To participate just leave a comment telling us your favorite font.

We would like to thank Mark Batty Publisher for sending us a copy of this incredible book to give away.

Sander07/30/2009

Another book giveaway! Lovely!
This is just a great book. Books about typography are always good to look into when you create some work. I mean with typography you can make your work look stunning or fall into the deepest canyon. Typography is mostly the key to give it the right last touch! This is a great example of a typography books, which turns it the right way round. Use typography as your starting point, and create something around it. Lovely! But the best thing is, in this book (as far as i saw in the bookshop) it uses the latest fonts. From script to sans serif to blackletters. The cutting edge of the fonts is used in this book! That's why it's such a great book in my opinion.

Oh i saw the second page was written in dutch :D now it happens to be I'm a dutch guy as well. (oh one more thing keep up the good work with the friday fresh fonts ^^)

helvetica extra thin is the sexiest font.

Sander07/30/2009

Oh and btw my favorite font is the Eurostile, it's a font which can be used in many different ways. Because the strokes of the font are both very emotional and non emotional. For some weird reason it's the way i love this font :)

tommo07/30/2009

Museo Sans is one of my favourite nowadays.

iamtiff07/30/2009

I posted a comment twice...oops :(

Gareth thompson07/30/2009

Mine is Lucida Grande, easy and clear when small on a web page..

Kevin07/30/2009

Myriad - I like it because it have good curves, great variety (like helvetica) and good readability. Some letters like y, j and g gives some prettiness to a name logo, that I am using a lot.

But actually I am doing a lot of logos, and the better option (for me) is doing a exclusive type/font. Then, I guess that with this book I could improve my skills.

pedro.kummel07/30/2009

My favourite is Eurostile.

Adrian Rodriguez07/30/2009

My favorite font at the moment is Aller.

NextMemory07/30/2009

Hmm... I seem to have a different favourite font every year. Few years ago I would have said Badaboom and last year I would have said Myriad Pro. This year I seem to be drawn to Futura a lot for some reason.

v_chaves07/30/2009

Helvetica

shedhar07/30/2009

Well it is so difficult to choose a specifict font since each font has its own personality and is on itself a way to express specifical concepts... But, if you want a font that can work in almost any context that would be the Helvetica family, they are elegant, simple, light or heavy... I guess Helveticas are my fave fonts... and to be a lil more specific, Helvetica ultra thing... so elegant and practical.

Coleman81107/30/2009

jeeez..... picking a favorite font is like picking a favorite song... ummm... I like Avant Garde quite a bit at the moment.

Ivana Setiawan07/30/2009

Mirko07/30/2009

Won't be too original but... Helvetica Neue is my favourite font...

Uldis07/30/2009

I love helvetica

David Hoogland07/30/2009

My favorite fonts... pff.. difficult one. I keep changing favorites every now and then. Though there are always a couple that I keep coming back for when working on projects. Sometimes just for the roughs, sometimes for the finished logo, identity... well.. I think everybody has certain fonts they just feel familiar with. For now I would probably have to say “Dolly” from Underware. It's a gorgeous font in small print and has quite a bit of personality when used in big sizes. Also gotta love the book that came with it! And Underware is just doing great stuff non-stop.

Love your articles! Keep up the good work. =)

Visualkidd07/30/2009

Gotta be Akzidenz-Grotesk.

BrianPhilip07/30/2009

thanks for the info! that's a sweet book.

Aristotle Punk because its name makes me think of an ancient Greek dressed like a member of the Clash, and most importantly its grunge appearance which i love to use for my friend's mixed tape album covers.

Manoele Luize07/30/2009

Pretty simple: Helvetica.

Skolnik07/30/2009

Trajan all the way.

Frojo07/30/2009

Franklin Demi Gothic Condensed. I like Helvetica for it's multipurpose but when i'm looking through fonts i always come across franklin and think "That's a great font i should use that". Then I realize it's the font i want to use for everything.

cwt07/30/2009

Not a big fan of Erik Spiekermann. He's kind of a lunatic, IMO. I choose Akzidenz-Grotesk.

Anonymous07/30/2009

My favorite font has got to be Helvetica. So many different iterations and all of them can take a lot of abuse.

AlexLup07/30/2009

My favorite font is definitely DIN.

mocket07/30/2009

wow a lot of people want this book......... and I DO TO..... hehe
my favorite type would have to be Avenir or Futura...... i don't really want to choice between them, they both work really well together with headings and body text.

but if Avenir and Futura got together and had a child then that would be my favorite type face....

so to sum it all up my favorite typeface is the unborn child of Avenir and Futura.

Trinor07/30/2009

Futura. It's just so perdy. =3

da3m0n07/30/2009

Garamond! for me.

Custopootimus07/30/2009

I really love Helvetica. Just like 48 of the commenters above me. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I absolutly loathe Comic Sans. It makes anything you type hard to take seriously. And it's absolutely terrible when websites with long articles use it.

wesker07/30/2009

there´s a lot of fonts i like..... but i really love helvetica !!!!!

dominik_w07/31/2009

hm.....I must say Gill Sans!

hey!07/31/2009

I'll have to say Century Gothic. It has been used by everyone at least once. It's so simple and I like the how a bit rounded they are. Like the circle in "b" or "d" the "o" the "g", etc. It's a very nice font if you look at it and looks great with any design.

I like cooper, its elegant, not sharp at all, i like round fonts,cooper so aesthetically put together as a family, and i like the way it is, clean, smooth, and bubbly. It has like a playful side like if the font was to talk to you- more like in the style of HEY LOOK AT ME, IM COOL AND NOT RELATED TO HELVETICA!, wow tmi, in other words it's awesome font.

When it comes to typo - Helvetica is the ONE!

knowtoneed08/02/2009

Greetings. I do not have a favourite typeface as a font is their to help describe or, if you may, dress a word(s). So my question to all typographers out there is what is your favourite word - and now what typeface does it wear! Really enjoy your site and it is truly of benefit to my graphic design students right down here at the tip of Africa, boom, boom, boom. Ps. the book will benefit a whole lot more. W
