Featured as ‘App of the Day’ in 119 countries. “This app could be just your type. Typography Insight will make you think differently about the words you see every day... It’s excitingly interactive.” — Apple Typography Insight is an immersive environment for exploring historically important typefaces, observing their details, and comparing them side-by-side. Designed for students, designers, and type lovers, it bridges the gap between textbooks and interactive learning. Now updated with support for Apple Vision Pro & System Font Picker.

Intoxicating as Wikipedia and as fun as a video game." — Fast Company "Learning the subtleties of Helvetica and Garamond used to be a pain—but a sleek new app has made the process easier." — The Atlantic "Typography Insight is sort of like an iPad typeface encyclopedia. Only encyclopedias are boring, and Typography Insight is beautiful and fun." — Gizmodo FEATURES • Type Inspector: Observe the finest details of typefaces—serifs, counters, and ears—at a massive scale using standard gestures. • Side-by-Side Comparison: Understand the subtle differences between typefaces instantly. • Overlay View: Compare two typefaces by stacking them on top of each other to spot structural variations. • Custom Font Support: Access system and downloaded fonts using the native iOS System Font Picker. • Spatial Ready: Experience typography in a new dimension on Apple Vision Pro with eye gaze and hand gesture input. • Kerning Training: Train your eye for balanced letter spacing with interactive exercises. • The Basics: Learn typeface anatomy, historical classifications, and typesetting fundamentals. • Tracing Mode: Experience kinesthetic learning by tracing historical typefaces with Apple Pencil.

So I got this app cause I wanted to work on my kerning and leading. I thought this app was going to be really interactive and more of a game to help me learn but it is more informative and not very helpful. There is a kerning “game” but the app does not have any information on what to do with the app. Not worth the few bucks

La uso constantemente para mis clases. Es intuitiva, completa y asertiva.

Die App bietet ein gewisses Grundwissen zur Typographie. Allerdings ist die Präsentation auf das absolute Minimum reduziert, kein Audio, kein Video - nur Text und ein paar interaktive Bereiche zum selber probieren. Hätte man mehr daraus machen können.

Buitengewoon goede professionele app over typografie, heel leerzaam en interactief. Alleen al de vormgeving is een groot genoegen, de inhoud nog méér! Gerard Unger zou hier heel blij van zijn geworden.

On peut lire dans le texte rédigé par l’équipe marketing d’Apple sur l’Apple Store que l’on saura ce que sont l’ascendeur, le descendeur, l’approche. Or, l’appli est entièrement en anglais. Donc, on n’apprend pas du tout le vocabulaire français comme le laisse croire le baratin affiché dans l’Apple Store !!! Pour le prix, Adobe aurait pu prendre la peine de tout traduire en français, et Apple aurait pu préciser « Tout le vocabulaire typographique de l'appli est en anglais ». Donc, on n’apprend rien de plus que ce que l’on aurait pu lire sur les sites en anglais consacrés à la typographie. Lisez Wikipedia en anglais, vous en saurez autant.

Sans un compte Adobe l’app ne sert pas à grand chose d’autre qu’expliquer ce qu’est une police de caractère. C’est intéressant à connaître mais très vite inutile.

Lots of features will insta-crash, like “the basics”, not ideal, but the features I needed it for work right now, and are very good

Looks promising, and very nice, but crashes upon attempting to use all but “typeface anatomy tool”. Love to use it but can’t. Waste of money.
