Hoefler & Frere-Jones became one of the most renowned type foundries in the world for its creation of widely used font families such as Gotham and Whitney, but the foundry is now embroiled in a lawsuit between its two important namesakes. The foundry's name came from its leaders, Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones, with Frere-Jones largely responsible for creating fonts and Hoefler responsible for the business. But earlier this year, the two entered into a legal battle over Frere-Jones' stake in the company, which he alleges is 50 percent and Hoefler alleges was never meant to be equal.
