Typography Insight

Ben fatta un ottimo strumento per conoscere la tipografia.

... è la tesina di uno studente appassionato di tipografia. Molto curata e ben fatta ma non va oltre i rudimenti ed è limitata a una trentina di font storici. Peccato: se fosse in grado di visualizzare tutti i font di sistema sarebbe invece uno strumento unico e insostituibile! (la tesi è scaricabile gratuitamente, in PDF, dal sito dell'applicazione)

So I got this app cause I wanted to work on my kerning and leading. I thought this app was going to be really interactive and more of a game to help me learn but it is more informative and not very helpful. There is a kerning “game” but the app does not have any information on what to do with the app. Not worth the few bucks

Pinch to zoom on the overlay comparison should allow for resizing only the left or right glyph (if gesture is conducted on the edge rather than center of the screen).

Just a neat series of little interactive displays that teach you all sorts of things you never knew about typography. A fun relaxing app with a clean, intuitive interface and a pleasant design. Makes you wish more apps would follow suit. Look forward to future updates.

I would not say that this is an instructional app, but rather a “cliffs notes” accessory that is EXTREMELY handy to have on-hand at all times. Very well done and well designed. All killer, no filler.

Useless app, and a typography app shouldn't have such ugly typographical errors.

This is a great application for those who are interested in the study of Typography. The app title is a perfect description as you can gain insight into the study of Typography with a learning basics section, a section on the main examples of fonts and styles used in our everyday life, and even learn directly with practice activities contained inside. The design itself is a compliment to the application as you can easily navigate the clear white interface that allows you to hone in on the visuals presented without any external visual noise getting in your way. The app wouldn't be as effective with bad design and it also would be somewhat ironic if it had.

As an aspiring typographer myself, I find this app extremely useful. Not only does it have references, complete access to Adobe Typekit, and 3 categories of information, but there are practice activities where you can get better at kerning, measuring, comparing, etc. I would highly recommend this to anybody interested in Typography. Best Wishes

This app is very informative and educational. Excellent resource for anyone interested in typography or type design.
