Best in class and an easy recommendation for me. Features are clearly labelled and intuitive, the detailed previews are both beautiful and functional. Makes other font management apps look dated and tired. It’s actually made me a lot more experimental and diverse with my font choices.Typeface’s UI is clear, slick and easy on the eye. This means that you don’t end up with a menu full of activated fonts that you don’t need when you’re experimenting with a layout. Typeface makes this possible.Secondly, and this is big, is the ability to apply fonts without activating them, simply by drag and dropping the font into your layout. At this point, the quality of your letters’ line and geometry matters more than the spaces in between letters and lines. Keep it neatyour sketched alphabet provides the graphic skeleton of your finished digital font. I store my fonts on a cloud folder so they’re all accessible from whichever computer I’m using. Make major corrections to your font in pencil rather than editing on software. Install the fonts you create to add a personal touch to everything you do. Typeface doesn’t take your fonts and create its own database - it leaves your folders alone and just links to them. Use your pen to create a custom font based on the nuances of your own handwriting. Tap the green plus button and select the Add file option. Two aspects of Typeface that strongly appealed to me are its non-intrusive way of handling your fonts, meaning that you can organise and structure your fonts folder however you wish - I do mine by style and by client/project. Open zFont and tap the Local option in the bottom right corner.

Best in class As part of my switch to M1, I decided to rethink my approach to font management.
