font.io is the encyclopedia of type — history, specimens, licensing, and free alternatives for every commercial and freeware typeface ever made.
One email at launch. No spam, no list-selling, ever.
Not a download farm. A reference work — every entry researched, every specimen rendered from the real font files.
Designer, foundry, year, classification, and history for every typeface — commercial and freeware alike.
Full character sets rendered large from the actual font files. What you see is what the font is.
What you can actually do with each font — desktop, web, app, commercial — in plain language.
Quality open-source lookalikes for expensive commercial faces, for when the budget says no.
