"Simple Organization for Fonts"

5/5

What do you like best about FontBase?

What I like about FontBase is the simplicity of the app. Fonts are easily organized in the sidebar by main folders and nested folders. Enabling and disabling fonts is a breeze by clicking on the green or open dot next to the font. The ability to preview the font's characters is beneficial as well. It allows you to test the look and feel of the font before activating it for your design program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FontBase?

There's not much to dislike about FontBase. I went with FontBase because it's free. The only thing that would make me even happier with the app would be auto-activation. I know this is a feature of the paid version though, so I could upgrade. I don't use the app enough to have a need for a paid version. For what the free version is, it does all I need. If I were doing design on a daily basis and had a need to enable/disable fonts all the time, I would definitely want the paid version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem I'm solving with FontBase is the need to enable and disable specific fonts for design projects. When you have clients that send packaged fonts, you want to be able to organize them to each specific client. When we start to work on a client project, we have the ability to enable just their folder. When we're done with the project, we can disable their folder. The paid version will enable and disable the client fonts for you. I've worked with expensive font apps in the past, but FontBase does almost everything they do, all while being free, or at most $3 per month. You can't beat the price and features of FontBase.
