Welcome to our editorials section

→Every now and then there has been an issue on my mind that has seemed too long lived and evolving, too complex or even too personal to be served appropriately by the format that a regular news item can offer. These are the topics to which I want to dedicate an editorial.

At the moment the emerging technology of web fonts and the resulting shifts in the business models for selling fonts are at the center of my attention. Our whole industry is rapidly changing, and I am keen to explore the whole subject with all its implications for you, our customers. While you are driving this development forward, you will also bear the brunt of the changing paradigm, and I aim to be there with the Kombinat-Typefounders to accommodate the changed needs of designers, web masters and type fans.

I am always grateful for any kind of input you can offer. So please, do get in touch and let me know what's on your mind.

Sincerely,
