Tool to compare fonts at a normalized typographic size.
Demo (external)
Features
- normalizes typographic size
- normalizes baseline position
- script-sensible sizing
- mode for all-caps setting
- detects installed fonts (script specific)
- testing with physical sizes (you need to input your screens specifications)
- allows to set line-height relative to typographic size
Current main limitation - Sizing the body text
- currently it is only possible to change the actual type size via the specification in global.js
- which is indeed super anoying. Sorry, I should have fixed that by now :/
- workaround: to quickly change the size use the reading distance field (double the distance, double the size)
Preview
(Within the Adobe Arabic Regular font there is a slightly bolder version of the Adobe Minion)
One issue caused by the current technical model
Different versions of Minion. They are differently scaled to accompany
type designs of other scripts; Top: original
setting; Bottom: scaled to the same x-height.
