Font Hero

How To Use Font Hero

Start on the Filter tab, and apply any filters you think are relevant to your project (e.g. serif vs sans-serif, thickness, slant, width, etc).

Scan through the fonts and heart any that look interesting. You can review the hearted fonts side-by-side on the Fonts tab, making it easier to compare them.

Click on any font to go to its individual page, where you can see related fonts and style variants to further hone your selection. Keep hearting interesting fonts as you go.

Sometimes it can help to take a step back. The fonts are all organized by similarity into a tree, so going up the tabs gives you a broader view, widening the selection of fonts.

If you already have a design or mockup, then be sure to Preview On Your Design, as it makes it much easier to evaluate fit.

Once you've narrowed down your selection, either download them or use the Copy Sample feature to quickly preview it in your design software.

Scroll, Drill Down, Up, Left & Right

Font Hero was built from the ground up to give you a much faster and more fluid font browsing experience.

Everything is deeply cross-linked, so you can drill down, up, left, and right through the font catalog without ever getting stranded.

Heart Interesting Fonts

Be sure to heart any fonts that look interesting as you browse. You can then see them side-by-side on the Fonts tab and narrow down your selection. Sure beats having 50 tabs open ;-)

Heart a font by clicking the little icon in its top-right corner, turning it into .

Copy Sample

To make it easier to check if a font works well in your design, you can simply copy the specimen and paste it into your design software.

Click the little copy button in the top-right corner of the font sample to copy the sample.

Preview On Your Design

To really evaluate how well a font fits your design, you need to see it in context. The Preview On Your Design feature lets you do just that, live, across hundreds of fonts at a time, right on this website.

Start by taking a screenshot of your design, but make sure to remove any placeholder text first. Then paste it into Font Hero, and use our nifty editor to crop to the relevant section, position the text box, and boom - you can now preview fonts live on your actual design.
