The Mac Feed

FontCase, the winner of Apples Best Mac OS X Leopard Student Project Award 2009 is the best Font Management system we have seen. It has all the looks of any of Apple’s top  applications, masterfully done down to the last pixel.

Created by Bohemian Coding, FontCase is a substitution for Apple’s Font Book, it gives you much more detail and a much better preview to pick your perfect font.

When you first open FontCase, it will import all of the fonts on your computer. Once they are all in the application you with have the option to generate a preview of custom text.

“It lets you view all the unicode glyphs for every font in your library; whether the font is installed or not.”

This application works in a way similar to iTunes. It organizes fonts into designers, and makes it easier to find your font by putting collections together.

Comparing Fonts

With FontCase there is no hassle finding which font looks better because it gives you the ability to compare fonts by Glyphs, Header Text, and Body Text.

Previews

Previews are the key to FontCase’s success, from the detail to the way the font is placed on each individual box. With the preview, you notice there is a small box with a number on some of the fonts. This is the applications great way of getting rid of clutter, it puts the Times Family together, and the Helvetica Family together and so on and so on (multiple styles of the same font is called a family).

Overall if you are looking for a new way to organize fonts, FontCase is sleek, easy, and an all around kick ass application. It is the top of the line tool for organization. With all FontCase has to give, its price of €42/$56 is not an issue. We saw no downside for upgrading to FontCase, and thank Bohemian Coding for letting us review such great product.
