  ### 1. A perfect way to explore font options without spending a penny.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**What do you like best about Fontstand?**

When choosing a typeface for a specific project or client, it is difficult to know whether it will work in that particular context. With Fontstand I can test and try out as many different typefaces and individual weights of typefaces I like, without wasting money on licenses.

**What do you dislike about Fontstand?**

I think a feature I’d like to see in the is the ability to pause a particular font. Once I have activated it there is no going back in the future (to the best of my knowledge). Meaning if I want to use that particular typeface again for another project I would have to source it another way.

**What problems is Fontstand solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The ability to try and test fonts without wasting any budget. As a designer it also gives me greater variation when approaching projects.
