Get inspired
Browse through your library without any distraction. Typeface lets you explore all your installed and imported fonts with live customization of preview text and size.
Reveal every detail
View Unicode characters, inspect OpenType features, tweak variable fonts and study font info. Typeface let's you discover all the intricate details of your fonts.
NewBody text layouts
Find out how a font looks in a book, magazine or website article. You can preview one of the full body text layout presets and create your own custom templates.
NewVariable fonts
Tweak variable fonts to perfection. Get live previews of your adjustments and easily copy CSS values.
NewOpenType features
Take a deep dive into your fonts by inspecting all OpenType font features. Discover ligatures, figure styles, character alternates, fractions, capitals and more.
Unicode characters
Preview every character a font supports and copy their HTML or UTF codes. You can even compare characters between fonts to see the small — and big — differences.
Tag, you're it
Typeface offers a very flexible and easy to use tagging system that lets you keep even the largest font libraries under control. Nest tags, combine tags, invert tags and filter tags; spend less time searching, more designing.
Synced directories
Imported locations are kept up-to-date automatically. Just point Typeface to a directory on your Mac and newly downloaded fonts are added on refresh.
Filter fonts
Find just the one font you need, whether you're looking for a bold serif, or rather fancy a slanted script. Typeface's font filters make searching easy.
Find duplicates
Become a cleanup wizard by making needless copies magically disappear. You can remove duplicate fonts from your library with just a snap of your fingers.
Smart sidebar
Designed to get out of your way: swipe to collapse the sidebar and focus on font previews. While dragging it will automatically expand and highlight already attached tags.
Quick tagging
The new Quick Tagging panel allows you to attach multiple tags (to multiple fonts) at once, fully keyboard-controllable with fast fuzzy search. Neatly organising your fonts will be an absolute breeze.
Tag export
Losing your tags is bad, m'kay. Typeface allows you to export & backup tags to an easily readable json format. So you'll always be able to recover your carefully organised library.
The persistent Quick Collection helps you improve your design workflow. While exploring fonts you can quickly mark (and eliminate) potential candidates for your design, without having to worry about losing your selection.
1. Collect candidates
Use the Quick Collection to mark interesting fonts.
2. Refine selection
