I wonder if there's a way to preserve their cloud.typography service through this. The article states that ownership of the fonts was transferred, but I imagine most designers would disdain the very idea of subscribing if the allegations turned out to be true. Service aside, how is the company supposed to survive this? Even if Frere-Jones wins the trial and full damages are awarded, surely he'll want to leave the company. I can't fathom how you could keep collaborating with a partner who tried to scam you out of a life's work. That'd leave H&FJ with much weaker creative direction and a tarnished reputation.

Implications for cloud.typography are quite worry some. Fought to convince several agency clients to use the service in lough of image headlines -- would hate for this to affect the service or more likely its license agreement for specific faces. Not sure if cloud.typography is a separate legal entity or not which could continue to license FJ faces if there was a falling out.
