Since 1991, "the big yellow book" has been the trusted friend of designers, typographers, advertisers and anyone else who uses type.

FontBook is the only guide that compiles original, digital typefaces from multiple manufacturers and presents them in a systematic way.

FontBook is all-inclusive, with typefaces both old and new. It contains all the classics of the art of printing, insofar as they are available digitally, as well as the latest font releases and extensions.

FontBook is a type encyclopedia with an abundance of carefully researched notes on type designers, year of publication, similar fonts, and additional language versions.

WHAT'S NEW

This long-awaited fourth edition of FontBook is the first version in eight years. Thanks to a streamlined design, it includes thousands of new typefaces with only a slight increase in size.
The book has

• More specimens (32%)
• More foundries (39%)
• More cross-references (300%)
• Less clutter, one single volume (index and contect together)
• More language/encoding information
• Improved specimens (more complete and more relevant to each typeface category).
