I <3 Typeface My type manager for years now. I love every feature, beyond the awesome UI. So handy and intuitive. As a senior designer, Typeface is truly what I was looking for. Handles thousands of fonts effortlessly. Font selection tagging by project is metal. Nice pricing. Five star support. Subscribed to Pro this year. I am never lookin back. Thank you.

Fast, Foxy, Fabulous Just my goto when I'm browsing fonts. Wonderfull app.

all fonts visible in one place! So nice to be able to compare fonts from so many different sources in one place. It's very helpful for keeping track of licensing as well. Saves so much brain space!

Saved my font life! I had been dithering around after Font Explorer X discontinued its app support, worried about how I was going to manage my 11K fonts. Finally knuckled down and did the research and found Typeface and its good reviews. Installed it and was up and running in five minutes including pointing the app to my font folder and importing all my sets from FEX. Super easy. Interface is very much like Font Explorer X. If you are trying to find a new manager for your fonts I highly recommend Typeface.
FatFirefly
Check'em out... then buy it! This has been the best font library app I have found (and have checked out many). What makes it the best:- easy to use- works- developer is engaged and making improvements... and keeps getting better
iDenzo
Best app for font library management hands down! I've tried a dozen or more apps to manage my large library of fonts on my Mac. They all sucked in one way or another. Most were bad because they were so slow to load and render fonts. If you have more than 1000 fonts, half the apps I tried just failed to open and display.This app is fast and slick. The UI is intuitive and easy to use. It's by far the best font app for MacOS I've ever used. I love it.
blake10001
Feels like a missing part of the OS - Diese App ist ein 'Muss' I've tried many font managers and Typeface 3 is by far the best value for the money. Ich habe schon verschiedenste Font-Manager ausprobiert und Typeface 3 ist mit Abstand die App, die am meisten für's Geld bietet! Mein Preview-Text lautet übrigens: 1’234&567 @Zürcher hätten gerne /- 890 möglichst (grüne?) Xylophone! Fonts mit vollständigem Zeichensatz für die deutsche Sprache sind damit auf einen Blick erkennbar.

Einfach top – funktioniert bestens! Typeface ist mein Ersatz für FontExplorer, der leider nicht mehr unterstütz wird. Mit Typeface kann ich meine Fonts bestens verwalten – bis jetzt hat alles einwandfrei funktioniert. Mir gefällt auch das Appledesign mit klarer Struktur und Bedienung.

Best ever! Nothing compares to you! :-)

El mejor auto-activador de fonts! La aplicación es limpia, elegante y bien diseñada, funciona perfectamente y es muy intuitiva. invisible a la hora de abrir tus documentos y auto-activar los fonts utilizados, deja tus fuentes en donde tú las quieras tener, etc. 10/10PD Gracias por la info que se muestra al instalar las fuentes XD
rochamx
La mejor sin duda He estado utilizando Font Explorer por años y he cambiado a esta por su simplicidad, y muy intuitiva. Me gustaria que se indicase ademas del numero de typefaces tambien el numero de familias en cada tag y grupos. Gracias por el buen hacer. Saludos

OTTIMO La uso ogni giorno! Consigliatissima.

Buon font manager Con l'aggiornamento di OS che ho dovuto fare, mi son messo alla ricerca di un buon font manager che avesse la possibilità di attivare e disattivare automaticamente i font di cui i miei documenti necessitavano. L'App fa il suo dovere anche se è ovviamente perfezionabile. Fa il suo lavoro.
ClaudioPersegani
The Very Best in It’s Class After painstakingly evaluating 7 or 8 font management apps, it was crystal clear to me that Typeface was, hands down, the best software for the task at hand—namely managing a massive library of type with speed, efficiency, flexibility and a visually beautiful, intuitive user interface.Typeface imports fonts faster than any other font management software I’ve ever seen, and the categorization is precise. The tag system accommodates anything you throw at it and I’ve never seen such flexibility in customizing previews. This makes the hunt to find the right font for the circumstances painless and fast.In addition, Floor, the developer, is very hands-on. He responds almost instantaneously to questions and makes troubleshooting a breeze. He’s personable, patient and thorough.There’s no better choice for font management and that’s the truth,

Fantastic! Replacing FontExplorer Pro right now. This app is first of all FAST! It displays fonts on my M1 without a lag or glitch. It has the ability to import my FontExplorer sets which is a huge plus. I spent a lot of time putting the sets together.Autoactivation seems to work better than FEP. In Affinity Publisher there is a slight delay and then the font appears. With FEP it was hit or miss, mostly miss with autoactivation. It is missing font pairings and similar font features like some apps have but I did not rely on those much anyway. The only minor quibble. You have to manually put it in the login Apps for it to show up each time you restart. I highly appreciate the lack of subscription and a year's worth of updates is more than fair.Features, speed, interface and lack of subscription make it 5 stars in my book.

Great replacement for FontExplorer X Pro When FontExplorer X Pro was announced to have been abandoned (i.e. development and support) I resisted and continued to use it. But now that it no longer works on Ventura I had to find an alternative.I evaluated RightFont, FontBase and Typeface extensively.For me, I found Typeface to be the best of the three — both in terms of workflow and the upgrade path going forward. The Typeface being on the App Store was also a big plus for me — I prefer my licenses and upgrades to be stored with and to be done via Apple; a centralized place that is hassle free.

Nice Fox Great app. Not perfect, but it gets the job done pretty well. Really like the GUI. Support is also top notch! Good job!

Suprisingly Pleased I needed a lightweight and functional replacement for font managment for my graphic design. So fat so good with Typeface 3. Keep up the good work!

Super! Sehr übersictlich, tolle Such und Sortiert-Funktionen!

The Best I have stepped away from the big and sluggish fontmanaging fossiles and have embraces Typeface as my new font managing darling

best type-manager so far ... I really mean it! And I tried a lot over the years.

No need for Suitcase anymore Great alternative!

Easy & Quick Works just as it should - and handles a TON of fonts. Great interface.
mediumstudio
Graphic Designer's Dream Font issues disappear with Typeface 3 arrives. That little fox fixes everything as well as being a graphic designers best friend for selecting the right syle. Previews, tags, searches and duplicate finding are all a part of this app's best features with so much more. Most of all I like the tagging feature that allows me to organize and group my favorite fonts. The new version makes it all even better! Five Plus Stars for sure.
Sanzseriff
Simplicity is perfection An app that efficiently manages fonts via an elegant, easy to use interface. Great work
AllApps4Work
Font Management Made Easy Simple clean interface that lets you effortlessly focus on the task of using fonts in projects. Type in demo text to see results in Typeface before applying then in your project. Google fonts import effortlessly and can be activated on startup.A must have for designers and developers.
krowdrah
Completely happy with app and support I've been using Typeface for over 3 years and am glad i chose this font manager over others. It simply does what it was intended to do without any fuss...faultlessly. And just as importantly, the after-sales support is super quick and helpful. Thank you Floor for creating this app.
username_already_taken2
Just what I need, GREAT SUPPPORT! I've worked in graphic arts for 40 years thru a variety of technology, using Mac for 35 years. This app fits my needs with Creative Cloud programs. But what makes me write this is the excellent technical support when I have submitted questions. Rare to get the timely and truly helpful/understandable replies!
1957 Dave
Intuitive and it just works I'm blown away by how easy the makes handling my font collection and how seamlessly it works with my apps - both Adobe and Affinity. Well worth the price.
Oscar Fellini
Amazing! Great app, really worth the money. Fits great into MacOS and it's amazing that you can turn fonts on and off. I also really like that I can search for fonts for a specific project I'm working on and then compare them.
Tommy van Kessel
toller Schriftenmanager kleines, leichtes Programm zum schnellen Aktivieren gerade benötigter Schriften. Nette Organisation durch #Tags und Unterstützung von Schriftdateien in eigener Ordnerstruktur.
woefi
Excellent Font Manager Since the demise of the great Font managers like Suitcase and Font Explorer Pro, I've been looking for something comparable. At $36 US, this is a fair price for this excellent tool. It does everything it says it does and a good side-grade from Font Explorer Pro.
ReallyRandy
Great App and even better Developer This is great font manager that did replace an aging one from perhaps the mainstream Font manager for me. The developer is extremely responsive what is a big plus. The elegant design and options to compare fonts leaves the competitors way behind. A big plus is also that you can leave your fonts in its own directory structure. And I could go on…… Just perfect!
Kikker902
I love software that keeps getting better and typeface is one of them Choosing the right font can be a pain but typeface is so good, I'm actually looking forward to do that. I love everything it offers.
musiclvr58
An improvement of Font Book This is an excellent font manager and has enhanced features over Font Book. The developer is responsive and updates the app frequently.
jp530
Grossartig Komme vom FontexplorerX, der ja nicht mehr weiterentwickelt wird. Typeface ist wirklich toll, superschnell, kein eingebauter Shop, kann Googlefonts verwalten.Natürllich muss man seine Gruppen und Kategorisierungen neu aufbauen, was schon sehr hart ist, aber für alte Hasen kommt es zur rechten Zeit, da Postscript Fonts nichtmehr supportet werden seitens Adobe, somit kann man seine Sammlung gleich mal entmüllen.Geiles Programm!
Macwasgreat
Elegant for choosing fonts One of the nicest features for me is the way I can type something in Affinity Publisher, Affinity Designer, or Affinity Photo, then use Typeface to painlessly test the look of alternate fonts. This with a simple drag of a mouse! Another feature is the straightforward way that I have been able to remove almost every one of those pesky NOTO fonts that slow scrolling through Font Book to a crawl. That ability alone is worth the price in gold!
Busby’s mom
Muito simples e excelente Escolher fontes mesmo não arquivadas no computador. Show! Uso constantemente!! Obrigado por este app.
SAvillez
Simple yet useful An excellent app to use and I like using it to explore my fonts, variable axes, and to activate in apps. Very responsive replies from the developer too
Ben Moon
Superb and slick font management As a long time user of Suitcase I find Typeface 3 to be better looking. less complicated, faster and far less incliued to crash. Its massively cheaper too.if youre looking for a great quality font manager dont hesitate just buy it now.** update **Pro version is now available, its reasonably priced and adds valuble features. Really impressed so far
