Today one of our favorite projects went live. We redesigned the website for fontfont.com, FontShop International’s own label and the world’s largest library of original contemporary typefaces. 

FontFont delivers fonts from designers for designers. We created a user experience that fits designers’ needs. Big type, a lot of stuff to see and compare, an adaptive layout and an easy overview when it comes to purchasing fonts or families of fonts. 

So check it out, designers: Go to fontfont.com and try resizing your browser window. The bigger your monitor the more fonts you can see and compare in one view. Set the display on fontfont.com to maximum size and then you'll probably just want to order that 30 inch display.

In September we did a total reboot of our website. We overhauled everything from the ground up. New layout, new code, new attitude. We built it to be lean, fast and flexible and we did it in a very concentrated effort: 6 people, two days. Ever since the new site existed as a public beta.

Now in this strange no man's week between Christmas and the New Year's Eve we decided to just switch it on and make it our official new website (Two people, 1.5 days, from the comfort of our living rooms. :-D).

For now we will not announce it in any big way on the social webs or elsewhere because we still have some interesting parts missing. But take a good look around. We hope you like it and we are looking forward to your feedback. 

NOTE: If you happen to have an iPad an iPhone or some other mobile device give it a spin there too. We have catered for these devices. For a quick test you can try resizing your current browser window to get a taste.
