Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based font bench for testing installed fonts, matching images to open-source typefaces, inspecting files, and converting or subsetting them.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-14 issue.

For: Web designers handling font files
Worth noticing: The image matcher compares selected letters against a roughly 3 MB index of open-source fonts; commercial fonts get look-alikes.

Field notes

The library is drawn from Google Fonts’ public repository and labels its families as SIL Open Font License, Apache 2.0, or Ubuntu Font Licence; popularity sorting follows Google Fonts’ order. Its generated @font-face CSS is intended for files hosted in the user’s own folder—the site explicitly says it is not a font CDN. The page says image analysis and font inspection happen in the browser.
