Find the perfect font with this new app
Explore the world's largest collection of fonts, and easily narrow them down to the perfect choice with the new FontScout app.
Finding that perfect font for your project is no easy feat. With thousands to choose from, sifting through for one that sets off the rest of your design work can take a long time.
To make the whole process easier, MyFonts have created FontScout, which you can download to your iPad for free.
How FontScout works
FontScout is designed to let you browse MyFonts' extensive range of styles, while simultaneously honing you in on that elusive, perfect typeface.
When you open the app, you'll be presented with a grid of popular fonts. Simply click one you like the look of and similar styles will appear. As you keep choosing typefaces, you'll steadily refine your list.
Once you've found a font that you like, just double tap it to save it to your favourites or add it to an album. You can even see how it looks in your own words by entering and editing copy from your project.
