  3. #Foundries on typo.social hasn’t been updated recently because those two posts in the thread had reached their character limit. Rearranged the foundries and made it a three-part list to add some more. Missing something? Let me know!

  4. #Foundries tauchte zum ersten Mal im Protokoll der 153. Sitzung des 20. Deutschen Bundestages am 21.02.2024 auf. Das Protokoll findet sich unter dserver.bundestag.de/btp/20/20

  5. #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

  6. Quoted a post by Letterform Archive (@[email protected]) (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. Is there a current good list of Independent Type #Foundries somewhere that I can recommend to my students? #Typedesign

  8. 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

  9. In case you care about the exceptional, innovative work of #independent #type #foundries and their designers:

    I wrote about 24 of them in last years #IndependentTypeFoundriesAdventCalendar 🎄

    Supporting them is a (typeface) choice! 🖤
