Seems they've already changed the name to Hoefler & Co on their website[1]. Also interesting that Frere-Jones isn't exclusively using ahis own typefaces on his own website[2], likely due to them being owned by Hoefler.
H&FJ make some of my favorite typefaces; it's a shame their relationship has come to an end.

- Fuxy 13y agoI hate to chip in on matters i know nothing about but that contract looks suspiciously one sided even for someone who knows nothing about this situation. As in something only a trusting gullible person would sign based on a verbal agreement and without consulting a lawyer. 2 years unable to work without your previous employers permission? Holy shit is that even enforceable? He definitely got screwed to what degree I don't know.
