With the Font Comparison tool, you can upload local files or choose from our directory that includes Google Fonts and more. You can compare up to 10 fonts at once. Our Font Pairing tool allows you to compare up to four pairings with the same robust features. Additionally, we have a Mockup Generator where you can instantly test fonts on t-shirts, tote bags, billboards, and coffee mugs—and export the results!

I wanted to build a free system to help designers like myself. We live in an era where every tool seems to require a monthly fee, and I wanted to offer an alternative. I hope you guys like it! Please let me know how I can improve.

You can try it on: https://www.findfont.co/

Example: First file has regular glyphs and numbers, second file has four alternate glyphs and Old style Figure designs (in the main numbers slots). Those two sources should become just one, the 10-14 additional glyphs (in font "B" marked with color) with all their kerning, prepared with correct suffixes (.alt, .osf) to be used with OpenType features in the end. This procedure for 4x two source files: The upright designs in Light and Bold and the italic designs in Light and Bold. 

My source files are .vfc (could be saved to a format of your preference) and should result in a format I can further work with in Fontlab. 

I was eager to look into scripting, I did read interesting threads here on TD. I did exercises with DrawBot. But honestly, scripting exceeds my capabilities. I would be thankful to find a professional among you who could help me with this.

The amount of work seems manageable, it is probably rather you are doing me a favour. If you are interested please send me a note with how I could compensate you for your work. Thank you!

I came across this post on Figma’s official forum and believe it’s a feature every designer could benefit from.

1. ENERG

   1. Y
   2. IJA
   3. IE
   4. IA

2. Graphic Designer:

   here's a mini website and incredibly boring essay about our typeface no thx

3. “This wall” (not White Pass’s) “is reading my mind.”

4. (REPRISE w/ UPDATE) Hobo. (Hobeaux!) Hobo!

5. Worst nonsense I’ve ever read about Univers, and almost as grave a desecration of Frutiger as posthumously diagnosing him as trans*. Or swapping out Univers for Helvetica and/or Arial, as the City of Toronto actually does on “Thursday’s.”

6. You’ve heard of 88 (⑧⑧? ⓼⓼? ❽❽?) and 14. New! Neo-Nazi parentheses (“echo”).

7. Are you as bored with reading about Avant Garde as I thought I was? (“Mother [HEROIC EMBRACING AMPERSAND] Child.”) Hi-res sidescrolling scans made it interesting again, and recalled Leonidas’ dictum that one must always inspect the original object (even if here one is not).

8. Unsympathetic Michael Everson dukes it out over Georgian majuscules (mtravuli). Days later, they show up on Wheel of Fortune.

   (Somebody here write “mtravuli” in Georgian for me, please. I looked and I can’t find it.)

9. Журнальная рубленая, the poor man’s Futura. I don’t see anybody trying to transgender this one.

10. “ОУР ЦЛУЕ ИС WРИТТЕН ИН ТХИС АЛПХАБЕТ.” Meanwhile, Jeopardy type actually looks better on Black Jeopardy.

11. 😜: First emoji on a death notice? (Discussion.)

    (“Emoji are not worth the forced line[‑]height increase.”)

12. “[S]ome Tweets [sic] suggest that Tarek Atrissi Design agency [sic] is the designer of the new Arabic font being used on Apple.com[/ae‑ar/],” declares credulous Apple blog without bothering to use Web Inspector to identify the typeface used as Gulf (which in turn identifies as five genders weights).

13. For the love of G‑d don’t ax Adam Curtis about fonts.

14. Trump Mediæval(l)ed. Ax me sometime about how I schooled the highly receptive late artiste Félix González-Torres about the fake italic Trump on his stacks.

    Such “LTypI,” an acronym you couldn’t even typeset behind the Iron Drapery of Bringhurstian party ideology, is derided as unimaginative, including by one great mind. I shatter consensus. In point of fact Ell Type Eye never gets better than with Brothers.

    I used to have a lousy photo of George Howe Colt’s Brothers. I could easily borrow that (audio)book from the library and take another couple of lousy photos. But I would direct your attention to a phenomenon that 88ers would seek to eradicate from the earth: Gay rugby.

    Every team consists of gay males trying to be men and seemingly every team has an awesome name. (Spot the name in Occitan [mtravuli?].) One of the Top 3 feared gay ruggerses, Muddy York here in Toronto, just had personalized jerseys produced. Typeset, obviously, in Brothers.
