A simple font tool for developers working with SwiftUI. If you're like me, you are always forgetting the hierarchy of font sizes: Which one's bigger again, callout or footnote? So I built this free visualizer tool for iPhone that shows them all in a neat list, and has customization options for font design, weight, width, and dynamic font sizes. Also available on macOS with a Menu Bar Extra app for fast access when you're using Xcode.
