We’re excited to announce the first conference fully dedicated to the business of running a foundry, the complexities of the font industry, and the shifting trends we see in licensing and business models. The conference will be held exclusively online, with breakout rooms to allow people to discuss the topics raised during breaks. Taking place on June 14 and 15, Font Business 2025 will bring together industry leaders, reaching out to both veteran practitioners and trailblazing newcomers who are changing the industry as we know it.

THEMES

is it just me or SS is not overshot

Thomas Phinney

Looks to me like they DO have overshoot, but maybe the amount could be a TINY bit more.

Getting overshoot “just right” is hard. I frequently second-guess myself on the amounts.
