A curated list of digital specimens
of the highest quality. Updated daily.
Boomville
Boomville describes itself as 'A playful upright monoline script typeface, bursting with fun!'. It's not wrong! Packed with nifty features, Boomville will certainly sit in a niche place in my font library.
Escafina
This is a characterful specimen for Escafina. A simple, bright colour palette of the design pairs well with the playful curves of the typeface.
Eubie Script
These simple, single-page specimens - which just outline the features of the font - but rely on the design of the page to really sell the idea are really effective. I love the arrows surrounding the buy button.
Marvin Visions
Stranger things? Yes, sort of. But where this specimen for Marvin from Visions really shines is the use of the variable weights. There are some novel UI elements to help the user explore variable axis. I really like the square 'design space' slider. Nifty.
Montecatini Pro
Will you look at that CA ligature in the title! This specimen for Montecatini is very refreshing. Leading with design information and inspiration, the specimen goes on to provide type testers. The real stand-out, though, is the real selling point: the contextual and stylistic alternates.
Moriston
Part article, part type specimen, and part – sort of – product landing page. The 'pay-what-you-want' personal licensing is a welcome addition, plus the various calls to action for signing up to the newsletter. These commercial additions – whilst welcome here – are sadly lacking from many specimens out there.
