LEARN THE FOUNDATIONS
• The Basics: Build a strong foundation through 14 visual lessons covering letterforms, spacing, hierarchy, readability, grids, and typesetting.
• Type Anatomy: Explore an interactive atlas of typographic terms and locate each feature directly on a letterform.
• Type Classification: Compare major historical categories through their proportions, contrast, stress, terminals, and construction.
• Historical Types: Follow landmark typefaces through an interactive timeline and compare how the lowercase “g” evolved across typographic systems.
• Type Size: Understand points, picas, physical size, CSS reference pixels, PPI, and practical considerations for digital media.
• Leading, Tracking, and Alignment: Manipulate live text and observe how spacing and alignment shape rhythm, texture, and readability.
INSPECT AND COMPARE
• Type Inspector: Enlarge text without limits and study letterforms at an extraordinary scale.
• Glyph Browser: Browse the characters supported by an installed font and inspect real measurements including x-height, cap height, ascender, descender, advance, and glyph width.
• Side by Side: Compare the same character or specimen in two fonts with direct positioning and optional guides.
• Overlay: Place two typefaces over one another, adjust their position and opacity, and discover subtle structural differences.
PRACTICE BY DOING
• Trace: Trace large letterforms using Apple Pencil or touch. Choose a font, adjust the guide, zoom the canvas, and draw with the PencilKit tool palette.
• Typesetting: Transform raw copy into a readable page step by step—reveal structure, build hierarchy, set the measure, shape paragraphs, and tune the rhythm.
• Kerning Practice: Adjust letter pairs by eye, reveal the reference spacing, and train your sense of balance with guided exercises.
WORK WITH YOUR FONTS
Choose from system fonts and fonts installed on your device using the native iOS font picker. Compare downloaded typefaces from font-management apps, local files, and supported font libraries.
Typography Insight is fully optimized for both iPhone and iPad, with responsive layouts, light and dark appearance support, and no account required.
See type differently.
디자이너, 디자인을 공부하는 이들에게 이것보다 확실하고 쉬운 type교제는 없는것 같습니다. typeface의 용어와 서체들의 구분,특징 등을 아이패드라는 디바이스의 장점을 최대한 살려 체험하고 살펴볼 수 있게 만들었습니다. 서체 쪽지시험보는 디자인전공 대학생들, 오늘은 폰트를 뭘 써야되나 고민하는 디자이너들, 글꼴 뭐 그냥 대충 아무렇게나 만들고 대충 쓰면 되는거 아냐?라고 생각하는 일반인들에게 필수 필구 아이템입니다.
좋은 앱입니다!

좋은 앱입니다. 기능도 좋고 폰트에 무지한 저도 쉽게 비교해 볼수가 있네요 ㅎ 요샌 누구나 인쇄물과 프리젠테이션을 하니 폰트 하나의 중요성을 다 아실 텐데요 한가지 아쉬운 점은 폰트가 너무 적고 출력물이 아닌 컴퓨터 상에서 주로 쓰이는 폰트가 적어 비전공자들이 실생활에 적용하기가 어렵습니다. 더불어 한글 폰트도 추가해 주셨으면 ㅎ
폰트 종류 더 없나요...쩝. 종류가 더 많았으면 하는 아쉬움.

서체 모양을 디테일하게 비교할 수 있어서 좋기는 하지만..서체종류가 너무 한정적이여서 아쉽네요.. 디자인 하다 보면 컨셉과 어울리는 폰트를 찾게되는 경우가 많은데..유명하거나 인기 많은 서체는 어느정도 있었으며하네요. 최소한 top 100 best fonts 정도는...ㅡ.ㅡ있었음하는 아쉬움이. 폰트업뎃좀해주세요~~
