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.
