As part of our commitment to providing a seamless and innovative type experience for our customers and partners, we've made the decision to discontinue Linotype.com over the next year.
Our customers deserve a service that offers expertise, discovery, and an unmatched search function. We are unfortunately no longer able to maintain this level of quality on Linotype.com, which were originally built with a more simplified function.
The Fou typeface family was designed as an alternative to Trade Gothic condensed bold. During the design process of a normally wide font variant a system developed that responds to white space and changing proportions. Thus, round transitions become rectangular and vice versa, space is made and space is taken away. This system and the associated changes are continued on a model with semi-serifs. Fou can also be used as an alternative to Din or the wider Q-Type, but in comparison offers more room for emphasis with its italics, expert sets and numerous special characters.
