Hi!

I made a small online tool to inspect font files. It’s pretty similar to a few other tools out there, but I wanted something that didn’t look like it came straight out of 80s software :)

It’s completely free, everything runs locally, and it supports variable fonts, OTF, TTF, WOFF, and WOFF2 (+ reads metadata in WOFF/2 files)

I tried to find the right balance between keeping it minimal and still making it insightful. I hope it’ll be useful to some of you :)

 Let me know if there are any additional features you think would make sense!

    Hey Axel, this looks very slick! Certainly not 80s software indeed, or a 70s fondue table setup!

    You say everything runs locally, but it looks like the fonts are being sent to your servers?

    You're right, nothing was ever stored on our servers, but the metadata extraction did use an API call.
    Fixed as of today: the whole analysis now runs locally in your browser, the file never leaves it :)

    I suggest making the first card contentEditable - users love to see custom text when inspecting fonts :)

    Agree with the editable first card, especially needed for non-Latin fonts.
