What is Fontalog?

Fontalog is a free font search engine from the makers of FontBase. It indexes millions of fonts and lets you search by visual characteristics such as contrast, x-height, proportion and weight, to find typefaces with a specific feel. It does not provide downloads; fonts belong to their owners.

Pros: what Fontalog does well

  • Find fonts by how they look, not just by name
  • Huge index of fonts
  • Free to use

Cons: where it falls short

  • No downloads, so check each font's licence
  • Search by sliders takes some practice

Who Fontalog is for

Designers hunting for a typeface with a particular look.

Who can skip it

People happy picking from Google Fonts.
