What do you like best about Typeface?

I like the fact that all fonts from my system (and more) are well categorized by style. It definitely solves a major pain point for me. I had initially been doing it on Google Fonts. But this tool is pretty handy and works offline as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Typeface?

I would like it more if it allows me access to preview the fonts which are not yet on my device. May be an integration with Google Fonts or a similar service would simplify it even more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Typeface:

I like this tool a lot and use it before pretty much every project. I believe that it simplifies decision making and supports better productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Typeface solving and how is that benefiting you?

Getting a quick preview of the text in a categorized font listing is a real timesaver. We all end up having a few favorite typefaces. But this allows us to break free from that prejudice and think more openly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Well defined fonts"
The tool works offline and we can download as many fonts as we want. It simply allows us to use those in a very effective manner.

What do you like best about Typeface?

Typeface is a great font management and organization app. Just the right amount of features for the everyday user and casual designer who uses multiple fonts that are not your standard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Typeface?

As most apps are going this route, Typeface is no different in that it requires an annual subscription to gain new features. The benefit is that you can still use it, if you lapse on the subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Typeface solving and how is that benefiting you?

Typeface allows me to "see" fonts and organize and tag them for better management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Typeface?

What typeface does that sets it apart from the rest of the typeface managers on the market is that it allows the user to see their fonts at a glance in a rather aesthetically pleasing manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Typeface?

There's not much I dislike about Typeface, but if I were to pinpoint something, it might be the lack of features. It'd be great if there was a feature that would automatically tag or sort your typefaces for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Typeface:

There are a couple quirks that come with learning this software, but after you get them down (such as option clicking fonts you like for later viewing,) it's easy sailing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Typeface solving and how is that benefiting you?

Finding the perfect font for a project has never been this easy, it definitely cuts down the time I would've spent trying to go through every single one of my fonts, by just having all my options at a glance. I can then mark the ones I like, and go through those options until I find the perfect option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Typeface?

Typeface have a very clean interface and makes it easy to browse & decide on which fonts to use in a design. I open this app whenever I work in Affinity Designer/Photo. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Typeface?

One of the only few things I dislike is whenever I import fonts (by adding them to a connected folder on my desktop), I have to close then re-open the app for them to appear in the font manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Typeface solving and how is that benefiting you?

I love the ability to activate or deactivate fonts. By activating only the fonts I need while working on certain projects, this saves CPU and other resources which keeps my iMac happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Typeface?

The Typeface interface is laid out beautifully- it's organized clearly, and they make searching for and choosing fonts easy- and with just one click, I can increase or decrease font size to see how fonts will look at (about) the size I intend to use them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Typeface?

This app isn't quite as intuitive as Font Book, but it is still pretty darn useful. I do wish the left pane was a little prettier and labeled a little more clearly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Typeface solving and how is that benefiting you?

As noted above, this app makes seeing fonts practical- I'm not just seeing letters at one size, I can see words at many sizes, which is especially useful for more elaborate fonts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Typeface?

this app doesnt work equally good without a second monitor because it overlaps with whatever you're working on, but thats just a minor detail Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Typeface:

What problems is Typeface solving and how is that benefiting you?

We feel our designs are getting more variety in fonts regard because we see them displayed better and the differences are more noticeable and fonts have more personality in this new way of seing it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
