About

Typora

Read full description

Most font apps ask you to trust your gut, but Typora asks: what characteristics does the font actually show? Every font in Typora comes with real measurements, not adjectives. Instead of "modern" or "elegant," you get x-height, stroke contrast, aperture, construction, classification, and how a font actually compares to hundreds of others in the database. If you've ever picked a font because it "looked right" and had no idea why, this app is for you. ------------------------------ EXPLORE ・Browse by classification and sub-classification, or search in plain English. Type "narrow," "high contrast," or even something looser like "techno" or "elegant," and Typora's on-device search finds fonts that genuinely match, not just ones with that word buried in the name. STUDIOS Four tools built for actually working with fonts: ・Matchmaker lets you dial in the exact structural qualities you want and watches the results update as you adjust the sliders. ・Chemistry checks how well two fonts pair together and gives you a real breakdown instead of a gut feeling. ・Blend takes two fonts and a mix ratio and shows you which real typefaces land structurally in between. ・Compare puts two fonts side by side across classification, structure, features, and live preview text so you can actually see the difference. ------------------------------ LIBRARY ・Save favorites, keep track of what you've downloaded, and organize everything into your own collections. You can also import your own fonts. Typora reads the actual font file to measure its structure instead of guessing, and if it gets something wrong, you can correct it yourself. Once imported, your font behaves like any other in the database: real search results, real relationships, full access to every Studio. ------------------------------ PLAYGROUND ・A small canvas for just testing (not exporting) type in context, whether that's a headline, a UI mockup, a poster, or a social post. Drag and resize text, style it however you want, work with real design grids like baseline, column, margin, and safe area, and save your projects to pick back up later. ------------------------------ Everything stays on your device No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no server. Your favorites, your imports, your search history, none of it leaves your phone. Even the plain-English search runs locally using Apple's own on-device language tools. If you're picking a font for a client, trying to figure out why a typeface works, or just tired of guessing, give Typora a shot.
