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.

A GERMAN MODEL, FINE-TUNED FOR THIS APP German Tutor is trained specifically on German instruction rather than general chat. Pick the size that fits your phone, the app reads your available memory and recommends one, then it writes the stories, runs the drills, and builds your cards, all on device. Model and training data are open on Hugging Face. A COACH THAT KNOWS WHAT YOU GET WRONG An entrance quiz places you from A1 to C1. From there the app tracks the mistakes you make across flashcards, stories, games, and conversations, then works those weak spots back into your practice. Set a daily goal in minutes, watch your level and your pyramid fill in, and check the streak calendar for what you actually did. Reminders on whatever cadence you set, or none. GAMES THAT USE YOUR OWN VOCABULARY Vocab Matching pairs German and English against the clock using your own decks. Der/Die/Das is rapid article practice drawn from an on-device dictionary. Prepositions drills the one nobody masters: Akkusativ, Dativ, Wechsel, or Genitiv, with the Wohin/Wo examples that show you why. QUEUE THE HEAVY WORK Line up stories, decks, and illustrations and let your phone build them while you are away. Plan It for Me fills the queue from a few questions. Jobs run top to bottom with a time estimate, and you can leave the app while they finish.
