Testing fonts

Typotheque canʼt lend fonts before the user agrees to Typotheque EULA, and buys the license. We understand that it is difficult to make a decision as to whether the typeface is suitable for your particular needs: thatʼs why we offer several ways to preview and test fonts.

We offer several ways to test fonts online:
1/ You can create your own PDF using our fonts in PDF FontTester to set your own sample in our typefaces.

To see fonts including their advanced OpenType features, try our OTF Font Tester.

If you would like to see how different Typotheque fonts work together, try our comparative tester Combining Type.

Or you can use other alternatives:
2/ If you would like to get a good idea of how it functions on paper, you can request a free type specimen. This however takes several weeks, because we send specimens only 4 times a year.

3/ You can buy a single style of the font, test it yourself, then buy the full package that you need. We will deduct the price of the single style from the price of the full package. Simply log in to your account, go to your previous orders, and click on the Upgrade Options.

4/ If none of the above options work we can also send you a custom PDF with a test setting of Typotheque fonts. Please send us your InDesign or Illustrator files with your text, specified sizes and indicate which fonts youʼd like to try. We will set the indicated sample in our fonts and return the PDF.

In some rare cases, for qualified clients (usually newspaper or magazine designers), we provide a test license of Typotheque fonts.

The process begins by contacting Typotheque to discuss your project. We usually engage with our partners to understand the scope of the project, consider various font choices, offer consultation on implementation of Typotheque fonts to help you get most of the project.
