What do you like best about Monotype Fonts?

Not much you can like or disklike in a font package as long as it works fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monotype Fonts?

Been using in my SaaS app one of the Fonts.net fonts for eight years. Recently, they rebranded/migrated to another platform and requested to create a new account. Dealing with support was a huge pain, as I assume they use some low-quality AI and not humans to provide triage support.

The new platform UI is so clunky and confusing, the new pricing model is shady (I end up paying three times more for the same service, and this is definitely not clear when you purchase a subscription), and I ended up purchasing the wrong subscription. After hours of dealing with their support, sending them screencasts with questions and issues, I decided to give up and move to Google Fonts. A completely unplanned project, but glad I am relieved of another dependency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While this tool is great, it would be made even better by allowing users to paste clips of they would like to match for an even easier way to use the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Monotype Fonts?

Huge font database for searching and matching the style of fonts I want. I love how it also offered fonts for other languages, eg. Chinese, Korean & Japanese characters. The convenient sync onto the desktop apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monotype Fonts?

No search function on the desktop apps, I will need to login to the Monotype website to search for a specific font.

Conflict when activating TTF and PS fonts together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Monotype Fonts solving and how is that benefiting you?

Some fonts are not available on Monotype. However, I am able to look for similar or an alternatives. The preview of the fonts is handy. I hope the website could have a choice of dark-screen mode. Not just in fonts preview screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Monotype has all the top fonts you would ever need. The font varieties work across multiple mediums and projects. The new desktop app not only allows you to manage your fonts but also organize them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There aren't a lot of downsides to Monotype. The big one that stands out is font searches on the website. I wish they had a few more properties that could help you narrow them down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Monotype Fonts?

Having access to thousands of quality, legal font files in one place is very convenient, especially at an agency where font licenses are not always easy to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monotype Fonts?

I generally find how much I have to interact with the app itself, either through frequent software updates or ignoring missing fonts each time I open a file, quite annoying. It should be more of a background app, like Font Book. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Monotype Fonts solving and how is that benefiting you?

The legality of font licensing and usage is not something I should really have to deal with in my day-to-day, so I'm glad it's all organized for the people who do have to worry about those things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike having to sync fonts from the desktop and website, i wish there was one app which i could update everything from to save me from having to open up chrome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Monotype Fonts?

I appreciate the number of fonts on Monotype and that they're continually adding new fonts. Synching and using are super easy. The site is easy to navigate and helps make font finding easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monotype Fonts?

I dislike that I can't find by "mood" or "vibe." Sometimes I wish I could look up "friendly" fonts for example. I know that's very subjective but other sites often feature something like this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Monotype Fonts solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving the issue of not yet having the right typeface for a project. I have realized that Monotype makes it easy to compare many typefaces and test out phrases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
