Discover Fonts in Real-life Use Directly Within the App
When we founded Fontstand we chose the path of carefully curated growth, partnering with foundries whose work we admire, and it’s been amazing to watch the collection of available fonts grow organically as the foundries add new releases. With ever more fonts to choose from (as of this writing, Fontstand offers 1,166 complete type families), part of our job is to find new ways to help you discover them, and perhaps there is no better way than to see them used in context. That’s why we are delighted to announce that we are working with Fonts In Use, a public archive of applied typography.
When you upgrade to the latest version of the Fontstand app (v. 1.4.5 and higher) you will see a new section named Discover, under which you can find the Fonts In Use gallery. Browse by images that interest you, or filter samples by categories such as format (advertising, books, branding, poster, web…), industry (automotive, fashion, politics, science…) or type foundry (45 and counting). When you find an interesting sample you can click on it for more information, including the font names and project details.
We are continually looking for other useful ways to present the fonts, and if you have any suggestions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
