FontShop International was an international manufacturer of digital typefaces (fonts), based in Berlin. It was one of the largest digital type foundries.

The FontFont library of fonts contains designs by 160 type designers,[1] among them renowned designers such as Peter Biľak, Evert Bloemsma, Erik van Blokland, Neville Brody, Martin Majoor, Albert-Jan Pool, Hans Reichel, Just van Rossum, Fred Smeijers, and Erik Spiekermann. The aim of FontFont is to offer typefaces by designers for designers.

FontShop International was acquired by Monotype Imaging on July 14, 2014.[2] The deal came as part of Monotype's takeover of many of the other large digital type retailers, including Linotype, Monotype, ITC, and Bitstream.

In August 2023, Monotype announced that it would be closing the FontShop e-commerce site, together with Linotype and Fonts.com.[3] In its announcement, Monotype stated that it could no longer maintain its desired level of quality across the legacy platforms and would instead be focussing its efforts on developing its MyFonts site.[4]
