A curated list of digital specimens
of the highest quality. Updated daily.
silka mono
An interesting specimen, but if only this was in web fonts! Stacked images of various incontext settings are really what sells the typeface here. Alternating black and white, large and small text across the various weights have striking appearance.
Newlyn
All Newlyn's specimens follow the same, templated (but slick) design. Simple cues, such as the flashing cursor, invite users to interact with the specimen further.
Mort Modern
This is a fun specimen. Beautifully designed to match the feel of the typeface, the specimen initially takes you through the origin and inspiration of the work. There's a lot to dig into here: a long form essay, beautifully designed little panels of type features and testers.
