Besides new fonts and promotions, we love pinning cool type we find around the web! Check out how Oreo celebrated their 100th birthday or create a message in Neko Font (“Cat” Font) — follow us on Pinterest for weekly typographic finds!
This Sunday is Mother’s Day — if you forgot to put in your order for a bouquet to be delivered to your mom, you still have time to quickly order some flowery fonts and send her a bouquet of glyphs.
With the combination of beautiful images from fStop and the selection of fleurons and springtime fonts on FontShop, you can also create a quick e-card to send your mom if you can’t visit her this weekend. Check out our Glyph Garden board to get started!
Looking forward to the Fifth of May? Get ready by browsing a bunch of 5s on our I Got 5 On It pinboard. From different font categories from Ayres Royal‘s swashy blackletters to HGB Lombardisch‘s deliciously inky glyphs to bold display faces like Parkinson Type Design‘s Sutro Shaded Initials, these glyphs will look good in bright, vivid colors too!

It’s the end of April and May flowers should be popping up soon. To keep you in the springtime spirit, we have three pinboards that you can browse.
First, start with Water You Waiting For and let your brain soak in typographic inspiration and water fonts. From fish fonts to seashells to beautiful pictures of the deep blue, you’ll be ready for your next projects and ideas to bloom. Next, travel to another world full of lush foliage in our Keep Calm & Hobbiton pinboard and talk a walk in our Glyph Garden. Our flowery fonts won’t spread any pollen in the air, so have fun playing around with Blossomy and Posy from Kapitza or Imagination Flowers from Elsner+Flake. Enjoy the greenery without allergic reactions!

We don’t just pin cool things to one board every week. While our New & Noteworthy and Ideas & Inspiration pinboards are good places to start for eye candy, don’t forget about our other boards that might help you get through a case of the Mondays or an uneventful Friday night. Check out:
- Lettering: Because handmade creations aren’t dead! Handcrafted words are still very much alive.
- Character Studies: Find personalities in different individual glyphs!
- Swashbuckers: Swoon over beautiful curves left and right.
- Found Type: Seeing fonts in use might help you along in your next project!
But remember, we have almost 60 boards for you to peruse over and and over again!
Today is the second and last day of TYPO SF. Our speakers are awesomely inspiring — if your brain begs for more inspiration over the weekend, find typographic projects and posts on our Ideas & Inspiration pinboard. Aside from this one board on Pinterest, we have almost 60 boards that may help get your creative juices flowing for your next or future projects including Found Type, Lettering, and Swashbucklers.
Be sure to follow us on Pinterest to keep up with the new pinboards we create regularly for you!

Our Sales & Support team, Theresa and Mayene, both went to Japan for vacation this month at different times. We have a Type Travels: Hello, Tokyo! pinboard up from last year but wanted to revisit the typography seen overseas. A few new shots of Japanese typography are posted, as well, including a quick snap of an ad seen on a bus using sakura (Japanese cherry blossoms) to create the word “go”. If traveling to Tokyo is on your to-do list, we recommend trying during cherry blossom season — not only will you get to see how typography is treated in Japan but the beauty of spring and Hanami parties!

March has been full of promotions and new fonts with sweet introductory prices — you don’t want to miss out on these! Be sure you’re following our New & Noteworthy pinboard to catch up with running promotions. While we post any new promotions on our New Fonts posts every Tuesday, you can always double check Pinterest to find any of those bright red or yellow circles stamped on a type sample that lets you know something special is up.
If you’re celebrating St. Patrick’s Day this weekend and need some Irish fonts for any reason at all, well, you’d have a grand time revisiting our Keep Calm & Hobbiton pinboard we created last year — there’s still a wealth of uncial fonts for you to dig through.
Like a pot o’ gold, this pinboard has loads of typographic treasures like FF Lukrezia from FontFont’s FF Script Type 2 OT package and the P22 Kells Set. So, before you head out to a pub, try some of these uncial faces in FontShop’s Plugin! Sláinte!
If you’re not into basketball, don’t worry — FontShop‘s got you covered. Our fontastic March Madness begins next week. Check out our March Madness 2013 Pinterest board to refresh your memory on last year’s champion. Also, don’t forget to follow the board so you can keep up with the madness starting next Friday, March 15th!
Also, don’t forget to follow our New & Noteworthy board for current promotions and new fonts and our Typography 101 pinboard to keep up-to-date with our type tips! And while you wait for March Madness to start, our Ideas & Inspiration board will keep you company.
Hello, March! As the sun shines down brightly on our San Francisco office, it continues to nurture our love for fonts — a new board on Pinterest has bloomed!
Our Glyph Garden pinboard is a collection of pixels and perennials. Paired with beautiful springtime visuals from fStop Images, flourishing fleurons such as Blossomy or Cadence will make you want to pick out your own bouquet of fonts. Or if you like to get your hands dirty gardening in the sunshine, Kapitza’s Allotment will help you become a digital gardener. Don’t forget that plants need plenty of water — check out our Water You Waiting For pinboard, too!

If you’re still getting hot for glyphs from last week’s Typographic Turn-ons series, we have a big board of fonts that will make “U” look good! In our Lovin’ U pinboard, you’ll find over 50 fonts for you to check out, some you might not have known about yet — think of it as speed dating for fonts. Looking for a face that will make you look elegant? Say hello to Ivory Headline from FaceType. Is your type the bold kind? Try Facebuster from TypeTrust. Or maybe you need to pull your true love closer? Have at it with Rodeo Rope from Baseline Fonts. Not sure which one you like best? All of the fonts featured in our Lovin’ U pinboard can be tested out in the FontShop Plugin!
Or if you’re just looking for some new love, don’t forget about our New & Noteworthy board. We have promotions going on you don’t want to miss!

In case you’ve been too kerned on by this week’s Typographic Turn-ons series to notice any other news, we’ve pinned some New & Noteworthy things on Pinterest for you.
We have a lot of promotions going on this month that you don’t want to miss — some are pinned for you to check out, including Laura Worthington’s Mandevilla Family and Latinotype’s Australis. If you’re still sweating for swashes at this point, though, we’ve collected our fontastic love stories in a Typographic Turn-ons pinboard to go back to time and time again.

As you anticipate the beginning our Typographic Turn-ons series next week, our Love At First Type pinboard will help you get through the weekend if you’re sweating for swashes. We’ve pinned typefaces that will warm your heart and fonts that we’re smitten with here at FontShop. We’ll continue to pin more lovely fonts and maybe you might choose to buy your sweetheart a font for Valentine’s Day instead of a bouquet of roses, because, let’s be honest, desktop font licensing for one user is forever. Many years from now, your loved one will still be able to type out their love for you in Fiorentina, compared to just reminiscing about or staring longingly at a picture of a beautiful bunch of flowers you bought them once upon a time.
