Typography Insight

Lots of features will insta-crash, like “the basics”, not ideal, but the features I needed it for work right now, and are very good

Looks promising, and very nice, but crashes upon attempting to use all but “typeface anatomy tool”. Love to use it but can’t. Waste of money.

My father was an old-time Compositor who worked with wood-and-lead blocks. This App has helped me to understand his craft *and* explain my preference for particular forms of type... Oh yes; it also clearly explains the difference between 'font' and 'typeface'! Love it!

Can't praise this app highly enough! Very useful for remembering various font metrics and terminology.

I have had this app for a while now, and I always found it really useful aid for teaching. Typography and all the details and classification of type, can be a dry subject and a dry, empty ditch blocking the way to learning for many young people and students. This app, helps to bridge that gap by making the subject come alive. What I like best of all, is the way that it uses the qualities and capabilities of the device to bring the subject to life. Books look great, but often books on Typography get left on the shelves. With this app I can project to a room full of students and show them right in front of their eyes what's going on. Its live and its interactive and it's really useful. Great price too.

Really nice to touch type. Shame about the limited number of fonts available and explanations of the terminology. A quiz would be great as a learning tool.

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.
