24 Apr My Fonts – Logo Tool

The neatest, sweetest way to test for style preferences and show the huge differences a font can make in laying out a logo or a web page.

My Fonts User Tool

The site is beautifully engineered, easy to use, and rich with information about the history of different scripts and letters. For example, the word “Macgirl” is shown on this interface in a dozen different fonts. This is an awesome tool for designers because it lets you compare a piece of text in different fonts, before purchasing anything. You can set up albums for different clients when making logos. Or web sites. Or print ads.

Each font has a foundry and a history. For example, Dalliance Script is based on the elegant handwriting found on a map of a horrific battle between the Habsburg Coalition and France which took place at Ostrach, in southwest Germany, in 1799. A roman style and flourishes, were added to turn Dalliance into a fully functional typeface family. Find out the design details, and enter your own text to see how it looks in different variations
