Description
Since 1989, the FontBook™ Editorial Staff has been the definitive authority on documenting and comparing commercial typefaces. In addition to researching the typographic works of past decades, the editors also keep abreast of new releases, which are now regularly added to the FontBook App in real-time via over-the-air updates, starting in 2011. The printed version of the FontBook was published in several editions from 1989 through 2006.
As winner of many prestigious awards* from around the world, FontBook App documents the libraries of 150 international type foundries who publish the works of 1805 type designers – covering 46,718 typefaces from 9479 font families (status: August 2016). The app presents the extensive content in over 600,000 typeface samples which can be intuitively spread out, searched, layered, moved, scrolled and combined like a collection of maps. While the iPad version is designed as an invitation to browse and play, its iPhone incarnation is equipped with filters, searches and lists, putting more focus on its practical use.
Five gateways invite you to delve into the world of typography visually, i.e. by Class, Foundry, Designer, Year or Name. A quick text search takes you directly to the font families, foundries or designers that you’re looking for. The app also features specially curated Font Lists which help you to search for fonts by practical and stylistic criteria, for example by use-case, genre, stylistic period, similarity or popularity.
On the iPad version only: Two types of bookmarks serve as helpful tools for compiling lists of favorite fonts and / or comparing your chosen typefaces using customizable sample texts and colored backgrounds. You can also share FontBook samples by posting them to Twitter or Facebook directly from the app, or by mailing them or saving them to your personal photo album.

Huge !
Bon outil mais, forcement, incomplet
Très belle proposition sur iPad des fontes vendus par ce fondeur… Il manque, et cest normal car pas de contrat de distribution, les produits de Jonathan Hoefler et Tobias Frere-Jones, etc. Mais très belle démonstration qui intéressera tous les graphistes… A soffrir en se souvenant des limitations
Beautiful app / IA -UI -UX : perfect
Probably one of the most beautiful type-related app I ever tested. I wanted to buy the fontbook paper format as I really love "real" books but this time I think the numeric version brings much more options : search, sort, buy and even compare types... The IA, UI, UX are just amazing... A must have for type nerds, no doubt on that.
Superbe en tout point.
Jai rarement vu une interface dédiée aussi efficace et bien pensée. Cest rapide, efficace et extrêmement utile pour les projets PAO / Graphisme / Logotype. Il ne manque que de pouvoir changer les mots de démo (Rg et Ramburgefonstiv) pour repérer plus rapidement certaines spécificité. Chaudement recommandé.
Good but slow on iPad mini
The app is great and performs what it have to do, but the scrolling a and the animation when zooming on fonts menus are slow, sometimes crash the app. Waiting for fix, otherwise, its awesome!
Amazing
Very complete and great app! You can find everything inside, an excellent reference
Muito bom
Otimo, ajuda muito!!!!
