Fontastic

May 29, 2006

Just ran across an amazing tool for web designers: Typetester. It allows you to easily compare different fonts and their settings onscreen, which is an absolute godsend for those of us who have to have to do just that on a regular basis.

Typetester also generates the CSS for the settings you've specified, making it easier (at least for me) to demonstrate how a different font will look in the context of a client's site .

One major usability kudo in my view - putting the "safe" fonts at the top of the list. While it may seem like a minor detail, that's the difference between an application that works for me and one that I will never use again. Love it.
