Typeface is a font manager application that comes in handy when you want to personalize the appearance of a project you're working on. It can be installed with ease from the official website and it doesn't require advanced computer skills to use it.
The main GUI comes wrapped in a dark theme color, with a panel on the left comprised of multiple tabs, a Search toolbar at the top of the screen, and the main area to display the fonts. There are no extra skin themes or advanced graphical customizations.
To view and edit fonts, you simply have to browse the library. There are numerous categories for you to choose from, so can preview and customize their font and size.
The app lets users view how a specific font will look in a website article, a book, or a simple magazine. More, individuals are able to tweak fonts and get live previews so you can then easily copy CSS values.
Other available capabilities include the option to create tags for projects, use-cases, time periods, styles, or brands.
Briefly said, Typeface contains a comprehensive fonts library that can be customized to be used in various projects. Yet, compared to alternatives, the price could've been lower.
v3.6 [Jun 8, 2022]
Don’t you hate it when you’re neatly organising your font library only to discover that some fonts are not properly grouped into the correct family? Separate font variants (regular/bold/italic) may each show up as separate families. Or maybe you have multiple foundry versions of the same typeface, and you need to be able to choose which specific family to activate.
The all new Family Editor allows you to fix all these family problems! You can dive in there and batch adjust the family of each individual font. Or use the smart suggestions feature to quickly apply automatically suggested family merges and splits.
Note: the font files that contain the actual family information are not touched. That means that family changes are only visible in Typeface, not in other apps.
But that’s certainly not all: there are multiple improvements to the Duplicates Finder, including the ability to select duplicates by folder. And Typeface is now fully translated to German by Karsten Müller — Viel Spaß!
