“Playtype.com, one of Europe’s preeminent online font foundries, has opened a gorgeous brick-and-mortar shop in Copenhagen dedicated to flogging digital typefaces. Customers can walk in off the street and buy fonts loaded on USBs that resemble little credit cards. The shop also sells a ragbag of typographic gifts and paraphernalia, including T-shirts, posters, and even wine.

E-Types, the Danish design agency behind Playtype.com, bills the shop as “the first of its kind” in the world. We can’t verify that, but it’s certainly a departure from the standard practices of the day, in which type foundries, both big and small, distribute their wares as downloads or via email.”
