Type Organization and Classifications

Posted by Jeromy
November 7, 2009

type_classificationsCan I just say that I love all-things-typography? But it is so easy to lose track of your fonts once you compile 100+ of them. I have found these two tools helpful.

FontExplorer: A free explorer from, you guessed it, FontExplorer, which helps you corral all of those fonts. Sick of those hard-to-see previews in the Adobe CS font previews? Bored of “The quick brown fox …”? This intuitive program allows you to type in a phrase and the scroll through your fonts, rendering that specific phrase in the chosen font, among many other things. You can quickly and easily choose the right font for those tight deadlines. Download Now.

Type Classifications: Once you install FontExplorer you can use this handy type-classification-ebook, created by Jacob Cass over at Just Creative Design, to organize and group all your wandering fonts. Not to mention it’s just good, basic knowledge to have when hiking the jungles of typography. Download Now.

I hope you find these two resources as helpful as I have.

Happy designing!
