Question

Blockhead OT Bold dissappeared?

I am doing an updated version of a book detailing projects in our company. Most of this is written in the font Blockhead OT bold, which was downloaded and activated through Adobe Fonts (was used last ~6 months ago). 
The font-kit Blockhead is still available here but not the bold version - why?! Was it deleted? Should I expect other fonts to suddenly become unavailable?  
Is there a way, I can download fonts from Adobe Fonts without the creative cloud, so that I may keep any versions of the font for future use? It is a huge problem when trying to work with a specific font in my design-guides, if I cant count on them being available.

I"m for sure not contradicting @HARSHIKA_VERMA when I say that from time to time foundries wirhdraw their fonts from Adobe's library and so they are no more accessible to CC subscribers. If you are dependant of a specific font, you will need to find in such a case either a replacement or you need to acquire the font for good from a reseller. However, this seams not to be the case with your font.

Hi there, 

 

Thanks for reaching out. This is pretty strange. If you check out this link: https://www.emigre.com/Fonts/Blockhead-Alphabet those are the only font styles that exist for Blockhead OT font. I am wondering if you've downloaded it from other third-party resources As you can see here: https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/blockhead#fonts-section we have all of them that exist. 

 

Let me know if you need further assistance.

 

Thanks,

Harshika
