Typography Insight

Underwhelmed with typography choices....<br/>It would be nice if one could do typeface comparisons within a paragraph e.g. Title and body copy. See how two typefaces could work together. This could help folks new to typography (like myself). Maybe that option already exist I just have not found it.<br/>This app certainly has potential to become a great one

As a student in design school, it is just great to see gorgeous historical typefaces in large size with retina display. Might be not enough for the professional designers but, definitely great app for the students in design school. Can be used together with textbook.

Just a neat series of little interactive displays that teach you all sorts of things you never knew about typography. A fun relaxing app with a clean, intuitive interface and a pleasant design. Makes you wish more apps would follow suit. Look forward to future updates.

Includes classic historic fonts like Palatino, Bodoni, and Baskerville. Some great tools for comparing fonts, zooming in on specific characters, and discovering the measurements within individual characters. Check out the website first before buying to see if this interests you. Would be much cooler if you could import fonts.

Great app. Very helpful for beginners.

As an aspiring typographer myself, I find this app extremely useful. Not only does it have references, complete access to Adobe Typekit, and 3 categories of information, but there are practice activities where you can get better at kerning, measuring, comparing, etc. I would highly recommend this to anybody interested in Typography. <br/><br/>Best Wishes

Maybe I was expecting too much by the other reviews, but I was not that impressed. This basically takes a few (very few) pages from a standard typography book and puts them in an app environment. Not much use to me. With a little imagination and a little more time, they might have made something interesting with this. Also, it only uses a small number of fonts.

Pinch to zoom on the overlay comparison should allow for resizing only the left or right glyph (if gesture is conducted on the edge rather than center of the screen).
