Typeface

What Typeface is

Typeface is a native macOS font manager for browsing, previewing, organizing, and activating fonts. Its previews cover body text layouts, variable fonts, OpenType features, and Unicode characters. Users can tag, filter, and search a library, remove duplicates, and export tag backups. Fonts can be activated temporarily or persistently, and the app can activate missing fonts when design documents open. It imports folders and can use cloud-synced locations such as Dropbox and Google Drive, as well as shared network folders; its site lists 5,000+ Google Fonts. Font Switch and automatic activation support design-app workflows, with release notes mentioning Illustrator, QuarkXPress, and Affinity by Canva. The fully featured trial lasts 15 days, but the Mac App Store version does not offer a full trial. Typeface Pro is described as a one-time purchase and includes new Pro features released during the following 12 months; its purchase is currently shown as unavailable. One license covers one user across that person's Macs. The latest version supports macOS 12 Monterey and later and has native Apple Silicon support. Work on Typeface began in 2015.
