FontShop is a type foundry based in Berlin, Germany. It was founded in 1990 by typographers Joan Spiekermann, Erik Spiekermann, and Neville Brody. Since then, they have organized numerous publications and conferences and have even expanded into the US. They sell a wide range of typefaces ranging from serif to sans serif and even script and calligraphic fonts. Some of their most popular ones are actually variations of popular and commonly-used typefaces such as Futura and Helvetica, and this was one thing that I found surprising. Along with displaying typefaces for sale, their website also has a blog with news and updates, as well as a section to sample and try out typefaces that you like.
