Indie founders and small business owners picking fonts for their website, packaging or pitch deck without a designer

Features

  • License check that flags missing weights, missing character sets, or commercial-use problems for each chosen font
  • Live preview of the pairing on a mock landing page, blog post, and business card layout
  • Drop-in CSS and WOFF2 snippet optimized for fast page loads on mobile

WOFF and WOFF2 are now the default way fonts ship on the web, but the average small business owner still picks fonts by eye and breaks licensing or performance rules without realizing it.
