"has made my clients fall in love with the designs I make"

4/5

What do you like best about FontBase?

It has allowed me to discover very stylized and impressive fonts that help me to give a unique and elegant touch to my designs, which has made my clients fall in love with the designs I make, to the point of recommending me to their friends, for what my current client staff has grown a lot, in addition its interface is quite easy to handle, which allows searching and downloading the fonts I need without any inconvenience or greater complication, it also has a large number of functions that are quite useful when wanting to seek creativity or inspiration for a design, for example you have the option of seeing all the font styles on a page, which has helped me to discover typography combinations that previously did not occur to me to combine, in Definitive is a perfect tool for every designer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FontBase?

Anything negative about FontBase? I think that you will hardly get any negative opinion about this application, because for me everything is quite useful and practical Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FontBase solving and how is that benefiting you?

FontBase has become my right hand when making my designs, since it helps me solve issues related to typography to implement in the design, which helps me highlight elements such as elegance, minimalism, sizes, shapes and colors you want to dim by the font you choose, as an image says a lot, but combined with a good font it expresses itself much better.

"So useful and effective"

4/5

What do you like best about FontBase?

What i like the most about FontBase is that the basic controls help you to find quickly the font you are looking for. The preview mode is very useful to check how the document will finally look. FontBase is a useful tool to have all the sources you need quickly. It is easy and fast to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FontBase?

The only thing I do not like is that you can not manage the sources on your own. This could help when looking for the desired source, it would be even faster.

Another problem is that the software is updated automatically, without giving the option to allow it to be updated or not, which can harm the consumer if the update makes the software change significantly. However, this is not too important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FontBase:

I would recommend testing it if you use different types of sources in your projects and you want them to be organized so that they are easier to find. This software is mainly perfect for graphic designers. Try the free version and if you are satisfied and need more features, subscribe to the premium service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FontBase solving and how is that benefiting you?

FontBase helps me to choose more quickly the ideal font for each project, mostly designs. When the design includes a text, it is essential to choose the type of font that better complements the image. With this software you can make this choice without using a lot of time. Therefore, the biggest advantage is that you save a lot of time using this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Basic but beautiful free font manager"

3.5/5

What do you like best about FontBase?

Love how clean fonts are displayed, UI is simple so it lets room for type to show off, basic controls helps you decide fast and choose the one your looking for. Preview mode is awesome for making fonts parings, and understanding how it'll look through the document, that can save you a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FontBase?

It lacks of feature that let you categorize or filter thins like sans-serif or Display etc... for my that will help to narrow your choice and help you decide faster when time is an important measure in your design performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FontBase:

If your looking a way to just compare fonts in your system, fast, beautiful and free this is your choice, for a more robust features, like filters, classifications look for options like Suitecase Fusion or Font Explorer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FontBase solving and how is that benefiting you?

When designing for any kind of projects is essential to make decision around type. Many hours involve choosing the right one for you especial project, so removing clutter and letting the type stand, lot of time is saved, by making choices clearly to discover.

"Speedy but basic."

4/5

What do you like best about FontBase?

I love that it keeps my computer fast by being able to toggle on/off certain typefaces - because I don't usually need 100 typefaces of a family installed at the same time if I'm just looking to grab the bold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FontBase?

There isn't an easy way to organize your fonts - like serif, sans serif, slab, etc. Trying to do it yourself can be a cumbersome task. I had some issues with trying to add new fonts, but it sorted itself out with a new update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FontBase:

You can try it for free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FontBase solving and how is that benefiting you?

I no longer have to be picky about what fonts I can leave on my computer (in order to keep things speedy). Having FontBase lets me toggle on/off fonts at literally the press of a button, and that's my favourite thing about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Organized and innovative font management"

4/5

What do you like best about FontBase?

Perhaps one of the best and innovative tools this software has to offer is the inclusion of Google Fonts and the ability to search for fonts to install. In addition, just the overall organization and layout of the different fonts is very nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FontBase?

I can’t say that there is anything to dislike. My only complaint is just out of annoyance that the software auto updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Makes font pairing a breeze!"

3.5/5

What do you like best about FontBase?

Fontbase easily downloads and is super easy to use. It quickly uploads all system fonts if you ask it to. Uploading recently downloaded fonts is a breeze too -- either upload manually or drag and drop in the window. Once your desired fonts are uploaded, you can play around and pair fonts to create the perfect design. It's nice to be able to see all your fonts in one place and picks ones that perfectly compliment the other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FontBase?

In the interface where you can play around and pair fonts, the drop down menu does not allow you to preview fonts. This is really inconvenient because you basically have to go in with the names of the fonts memorized. In my opinion, this defeats the purpose of the tool entirely. I want to be able to see the fonts in the menu when I'm pairing them up with others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FontBase:

It's a great way to keep fonts organized. Great for graphic designers. Subscribe to their premium service "Awesome" if you're a designer and want to have access to more helpful features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FontBase solving and how is that benefiting you?

I create a lot of flyers for office events, and I make a lot of signs. Choosing the right font is incredibly important to draw attention and attract people to your event. Sometimes I need the fonts I use to be bold and compelling, and other times fun and playful. Using Fontbase allows me to keep track of all the special fonts I've downloaded, and even has a tool that lets me pair them together to see what looks best. I can test as many out as I like. I am able to create flyers and signs and invites that people absolutely love! And I feel great about my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
