FontDatabase is a curated font database designed to help designers find the perfect typeface without the usual hassle. It runs as a macOS application, eliminating the need to open a browser or manage web font service interfaces.
It provides previews of all supported font types, allowing users to check if a font meets their requirements before downloading.
You open the macOS application and browse or search the curated font list. You can filter fonts by characteristics like formal, informal, serif, or minimal, then preview each typeface directly in the app. Once satisfied, you download the chosen font.
FontDatabase is best suited for designers who prefer a dedicated, native macOS experience over browser-based font repositories. It focuses on a curated, filtered selection rather than an exhaustive catalog, which can save time for users who know roughly what style they need.
Browse fonts filtered by categories such as formal, informal, serif, or minimal.
Run the font database as a native application on macOS with no browser needed.
See previews of all supported font types before downloading them.
Access a hand-picked selection of typefaces rather than an unfiltered directory.
