What you get
See how your words look before you choose a font.
Typeface lets you judge fonts using the text you actually plan to use. You can preview a word or sentence across your installed fonts, adjust its size and styling, and compare candidates side by side. Instead of deciding from font names alone, you can see which letterforms suit your project.
You can gather promising choices into a separate comparison set, remove those that don’t fit, and clear the set when you move to another project. Before committing, you can inspect a font’s uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, special characters, and metadata to check what it includes.
Your collection can grow beyond the fonts already on your Mac. You can import your own fonts or add Google Fonts, then organize them with tags and project-based collections. A font can belong to more than one group, so you can find it again under different themes or projects.

From the developer
Choosing the right font is crucial to the success of any design project. But it’s often harder than it looks. Sure, we can all pretty much tell when Comic Sans isn’t going to cut it. But fewer of us can instinctively tell whether to go with Gill or Gill Sans. That’s why there’s Typeface.Read the full description
