Light or Dark

TypeSuite has two built-in themes: Light and Dark. Pick one and the whole page follows, just like the app.

Everything in one window

A complete font workflow, without the bloat

Preview, filter, tag, organize, and activate your fonts, all in one fast native window.

Preview Studio

See every font in your own words

Set the sample once and the whole library re-renders in it, at any size. Your preview settings are remembered across the whole app.

  • Sample presets. Sentence, Pangram, Paragraph, Alphabet, Numerals, plus your own saved texts.
  • Your own words. Type any preview text and every family renders with it at once.
  • Live size. Scale the whole library up or down with one slider.

Styling

Dial in the look, and it sticks

Shape how every preview and specimen reads, from a bold display line to a calm paragraph. Your styling carries across the library and onto the specimen page.

  • Headline or paragraph. See a font as a display line or as running body text.
  • Alignment, line height, and letter-spacing. Fine-tune the rhythm of every sample.
  • Color themes and custom colors. Pick a text and background theme, or set your own swatches.
  • Reset anytime. Return to the defaults in one click.

Smart Filters

Find fonts by what they actually are

Stop scrolling. Narrow a huge library down to the exact typefaces you need, by their real typographic traits.

  • Category and style. Serif, Slab, Sans, Script, Mono, Display, plus Italic, Monospaced, Variable, and Color flags.
  • Weight, by look or label. A dual-thumb range measured from the letterforms or read from the font. Variable fonts match across their whole axis.
  • Width and x-height. Dial in the proportions you want.
  • Language. Filter by script (Latin, Cyrillic, CJK, Arabic, and more) with an All / Any toggle. Active filters show as removable chips.

One clear model

Turn any font on, everywhere, instantly

One switch makes a font available to every app on your Mac, and turns it cleanly off again. It stays that way across reboots.

  • One font, or a whole set. Activate a single font from its row, a whole collection with one click on its dot, or auto-activate a whole folder from its right-click menu, so new fonts added later turn on too.
  • System-wide. Activated fonts appear in every app at once, and persist across reboots.
  • Big sets stay smooth. Activating a large collection runs behind a progress bar, so the window never freezes.
  • Truly reversible. Deactivate really turns it off. TypeSuite never touches your system font folder.

Organize

Tag it, group it, nest it, your way

Bring order to thousands of fonts with tags and collections that fit how you actually work.

  • Tags. Label fonts your own way, add them from a row or by dragging, and rename or delete a tag everywhere at once.
  • Nested collections. Build sub-collections, drag to nest, and activate a whole group with a none / partial / all indicator.
  • Favorites. Star the fonts you reach for most.

Paragraph

Good type gets out of the way. It guides the eye, sets a rhythm, and lends a voice to the page without ever calling attention to itself.

Read a face in full sentences, across sizes and styles, and watch how it holds its poise from the opening capital to the final full stop.
