"Useful for Font Management"

4.5/5

What do you like best about FontBase?

I am a graphic designer and I have a lot of fonts installed in my pc and sometimes it is a bit difficult to find the appropiate font for a design. This tool help me a lot with that. You can import your installed font or search in the providers section. Google let you use a lot of fonts via this amazing app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FontBase?

The update system is a bit buggy I hope they can fix it in the next update. The dropdown menus are a bit confusing because you can not preview the font you are selecting. Also I do not like that you can not organise the fonts by bold,italic, etc... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FontBase:

If you need to have your fonts organised this is your tool. Also is the best for trying combinations of differents fonts in the same page Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This software helped me when I had to choose font for text in some of my designs. For example promotional posters, catalogues or flyers 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.

What do you like best about FontBase?

Easy to use. Intuitive interface. The latest UI updates make it much easier to navigate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FontBase?

"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.

"THE BEST font management tool"

5/5

What do you like best about FontBase?

What do you dislike about FontBase?

Zero. I can't think of anything I really dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FontBase:

Download this (its free!) and you'll be so happy to have solved a problem that you might not have even realized you needed to be solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Helps a ton with finding and managing creative fonts to use in powerpoint design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"FontBase Covers Your Font Bases"

4.5/5

What do you like best about FontBase?

I like that it is an easy way to manage your font suite. It is easy to use and super fast. It makes selecting and using fonts a breeze. I was able to get up and running very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FontBase?

That it is not an ubiquitous tool. It is not commonly used. At times, it was not easy to use the drop-down menus. I sometimes had to look around for what I needed it to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FontBase:

I would recommend that you try it out. You will like it. Play around with it to see if you like it. Use it to organize your fonts. 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.
