I utilized the font Phosphate last year through Adobe fonts and it is no longer available. Can I get confirmation that this was once available through Adobe and when availibilty was discontinued?

Hi @Amy22230487s8f6 I found an answer here from an Adobe employee on November 5, 2018, about Adobe Phosphate that may help. I'm not sure how you used it last year (i.e., 2021) through Adobe fonts if it wasn't available from Adobe in 2018? This is what it said:

 

Phosphate isn't part of the Adobe Fonts library, so you would need to purchase a separate font license to use it in Rush. Phosphate Pro is from Red Rooster Collection, and is sold by MyFonts.com and other resellers. Once you've purchased a font license and installed the font files on your computer, they will be available to use in Rush and all your other desktop software.

Phosphate Pro was an Apple system font in Yosemite, and it is still one in Monterey. It may still be a system font in later OSs, so look there.

I used it too!! And now it's gone and I'm having all kind of trouble. I tried to upload the font to fresco and it is not working and now I can't delete the font to try to reupload it. 
But yes it was there!

I am a volunteer and don't know details about Phosphate. I do know that a while back a couple of foundries left Adobe Fonts, but I don't know if Red Rooster was one:

It's not in Adobe Fonts now, so you'll have to either purchase it elsewhere or find an alternate.

 

Phosphate is available from Linotype:

and from Red Rooster:
