A curated list of digital specimens
of the highest quality. Updated daily.
Lars
Full screen type tester. HUGE type. Unconventional UI with a few little surprises. MIssing a few details, though, to make some really informed decisions about if you want to buy it or not.
West
The specimen for Fontwerk's newest release, West, builds on their other specimens. Comprehensive, stylish, with just the right mix of functional and delightful.
Bretagne
Want to peruse your type to the relaxing sounds of running water and acoustic guitar? A sparce specimen which is just unconventional enough to make it interesting. Good stuff.
Agena Display
The hero image for this specimen for Agena Display by Copper and Brasses hints at what's to come after the stacks of type testers. Really effective branding and design showing off the features of the typeface.
Santa Ana Sans
From a functional perspective, this specimen for Santa Ana Sans is a little unconventional and a bit lacking. But, from a marketing perspective, it's probably one of the best I've seen. Scroll down to see brightly designed tiles of features, examples, and proposed applications.
Gnomon*
An interesting specimen for free drop shadow variable font, Gnomon. The interesting aspect of this font is the unusual variable axis: 'time of day', and 'shadow distance'. This type of interface is brilliantly educational for the potential of variable fonts.
