Some like them to use #ad.
A fraction rather has no promotion on #Mastodon.

Let’s encourage them by following #foundries #FollowFriday #FF

#China's #chipmaking tool imports climb to $40 billion as the country chases #semiconductor manufacturing self-sufficiency. Up 14% from last year despite a slowing economy. #US has imposed sanctions in an attempt to stop China from importing particularly cutting-edge tools, but Chinese #foundries have found ways to buy equipment that they normally wouldn't be allowed to. Shipments from #Netherlands (#ASML) soared in Dec. #2023 ahead of new curbs

Quoted a post by Letterform Archive (@letterformarchive@typo.social) (typo.social)

This box of 600+ specimen cards holds a complete snapshot of the last metal type foundries in Germany. Produced 1958–1971, the Schriftenkartei (Typeface Index) represents the final effort to catalog all the country’s typefaces in production at the time. The cards are useful for researchers and designers as they share a common format and show complete glyph sets. Thanks to Michael Wörgötter, a set of these cards is now in our collection, and his high-res scans are online. https://letterformarchive.org/news/schriftenkartei-german-font-index/

This Schriftenkartei represents a fascinating example of a card index (#zettelkasten) as a database. This one obviously had a very narrow range of topics.

#typography + #zettelkasten = winning!

🔵🔴 7 Tips For Finding Fonts
by Jamie Clarke @JamieClarkeType ig: jamieclarketype

jamieclarketype.com/finding-fo

The illustration shows two people standing in front of exclamation and interrogation giant red and blue marks with the words “fonts” written on speech balloons in white (with blue text), in red and blue (with white text). One person is holding a magnifying glass and the other is holding a pencil. The background is a gradient from light blue on the bottom to pink on the top. The woman wears a white shirt and blue skirt and her giant pencil is red. The man wears a blue sweater and grey pants. His magnifying glass is blue.

Is there a current good list of Independent Type #Foundries somewhere that I can recommend to my students? #Typedesign

Where can I find a list of #Foundries that no longer exist, such as #Linotype, #ITC, #Bitstream, #FontShop, #Berthold, URW, Elsner+Flake, Letraset, Typoart, Emigre, House Industries, Scangraphic, Fontspring, Fontdeck #typefoundry

Supporting them is a (typeface) choice! 🖤
