The Typetester is an online application for comparison of the fonts for the screen. Its primary role is to make web designer’s life easier. As the new fonts are bundled into operating systems, the list of the common fonts will be updated.
Marko Dugonjić’s typetester gives you instant previews of how a text of your choice would look on-screen set in a certain font and size. It offers full control of the font styling, including the background colour, with the choice of displaying either fonts from your own system or standard system fonts for Windows, Mac or both.
