Read full descriptionHide full description
FontBooth is designed to provide fonts that have a high glyph coverage of CJK Unicode blocks, enabling you to continue working on documents on the go. FontBooth is not looking for eye-catching fonts, but rather focuses mainly on Hei, Yuan, Song, Ming, and Kai glyph CJK fonts. Although all fonts are available for personal or commercial use, there may be specific limitations for each font. If you intend to use them for other than document viewing or editing, please carefully examine the licenses. ### About custom fonts - Custom fonts can only be used by apps with custom font privileges. - Custom fonts are not accessible through the keyboard extension, even though the hosting application has been granted the font privilege.
GLYPH.CASE
Read full descriptionHide full description
GLYPH.CASE is a working typography studio in app form. Type once, see your words set across 40+ specimen plates instantly, then copy to any app on your phone. This is not another font list with the same generic layout. GLYPH.CASE is built around a printing press metaphor β each style is a "plate" you can swipe through, each symbol set is a "case" of glyphs you can pull from. The whole interface is hand-built: a neo-brutal Y2K visual language with thick black borders, hard offset shadows, sun-yellow callouts, and chromatic-aberration ghosts behind the headline letters. β WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT β β’ Specimen plate concept Every font style renders as a "plate" with its own number, label, and color-pop background. Pick a plate, set your text, see exactly how it lands β no abstract row of font names. β’ Folio numbering The interface is laid out like a typography catalogue. FOLIO 01 holds the deck. PLATE 02 is fonts. PLATE 03 is symbols. PLATE 04 is decor. PLATE 05 is your saved bookshelf. You always know where you are. β’ One editor, four decks No five-tab bottom bar. No menus stacked on menus. The home screen is a single editor with a horizontal deck of fonts/symbols/decor/saved swiping underneath. Type once. Swipe. Tap. Copy. Done. β’ Hand-built Y2K interface Every button, every card, every popup uses the same signature: 2.5pt black border, hard offset shadow (no soft blur), sun-yellow / cyan / magenta / iris accents. Built deliberately to not look like a template. β WHAT YOU GET β 40+ Specimen Plates Bold, italic, bubble, mono, serif, cursive, block, script, fraktur, double-struck, vaporwave, small caps, strikethrough, upside-down, and many more. Every plate hand-curated. 500+ Symbols Across 17 Cases Hearts, sparkles, stars, arrows, music notes, currency, weather, flowers, math, kaomoji, and 12 more themed cases. Search by category. Tap to insert. Decor Library Frames, dividers, brackets, leaf ornaments, sparkle borders. Wrap your text in a setting that fits the mood. Saved Bookshelf Bookmark any composed line. Build a personal library of go-to bios, captions, and signatures. Live Press Preview Watch your text get set across every plate in real time. No "tap to preview" delays. One-Tap Copy Copy lands straight in your clipboard with a clean confirmation toast β paste into Instagram, TikTok, Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram, Snapchat, iMessage, Threads, Bluesky, anywhere. Fully Offline No login. No sign-up. No internet required. Every plate works offline. β BUILT FOR β β’ Instagram bio, captions, story text β’ TikTok captions and profile name β’ Discord nicknames, server roles, channel headers β’ Threads / Bluesky / Mastodon profile lines β’ Gaming usernames β Roblox, Minecraft, Steam, Fortnite, Valorant β’ YouTube channel name, video title flourishes β’ Pinterest board titles β’ WhatsApp / Telegram / Snapchat aesthetic chat β’ Notion / Obsidian / personal site headers β PRO β Unlock every plate and every symbol case with a monthly, yearly, or lifetime plan. Ad-free, unlimited saved bookmarks, and access to the full type case. β FREE FOREVER β The core editor, 11 symbol cases, decor library, copy/paste, and live preview are free. No card required to start setting type. β PRIVACY β GLYPH.CASE does not require an account, does not collect your text, and does not track what you copy. Your composed lines stay on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FontBooth at none against GLYPH.CASE's shown. GLYPH.CASE's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
