Fonti

Find your type.

A SwiftUI font previewer for designers, built for iOS 26+. Paste or type any text and see it rendered across every system font in a scrolling, premium gallery — save favourites, open them full-screen, share them as specimen images.

Liquid Glass throughout. SwiftData-backed. No third-party dependencies.

What's new in v1.1

• Font Pairings — A curated map of designer-approved heading + body combinations. Open the Full Screen Preview of a pairable family (Georgia, Helvetica Neue, Bodoni 72, Baskerville, Avenir Next, more) and you'll see a "Pairs well with…" strip of glass chips below the controls, each rendered in its own font. Tapping a chip morphs it into the new Preview via the same zoom transition Apple uses in Photos.
• Custom Font Import — A new My Fonts section in Settings opens the Files picker for .ttf or .otf files. Imported fonts are copied into the sandbox, registered with Core Text, and surfaced in Browse alongside the system fonts (with a small amber dot beside the caps label so designers can tell them apart). Swipe-to-delete in Settings removes them cleanly.

Screens

	Browse A sticky liquid-glass input bar sits at the top — type or paste anything and every card below renders it in a different system font. Each card is a glass surface showing the family name in small caps, with a heart button that saves the font to your library. Sticky glass input pinned via safeAreaInset(edge: .top) LazyVStack of font cards — lazy realisation handles hundreds of system families smoothly Text-change crossfade as you type; scroll fade-in as cards enter the viewport Per-card SwiftData query keeps the heart state in sync with the Saved store Tapping a card triggers the lift + parallax + zoom transition into the Preview
	Saved A two-column LazyVGrid of every font you've hearted. Each card shows the family name and an "Aa Bb" specimen rendered in that font. @Query(sort: \SavedFont.savedAt, order: .reverse) — most-recent first Long-press → Remove context menu (with a snappy scale + opacity transition) Empty state: a quiet "Heart a font to keep it here." in cream-50% Tapping a card pushes the same Preview screen as Browse, with the same lift transition
	Full Screen Preview A large centred render of your text in the selected family. The navigation title itself is rendered in the family font — the screen is the specimen. Glass control capsule at the bottom: 12–96 pt size slider, bold / italic glass toggles, share button Bold/italic detection via UIFontDescriptor — toggles are always visible but greyed at 35% opacity when the family doesn't support that trait (no layout shift between fonts) Share generates a 1080×1080 specimen PNG via ImageRenderer and hands it off to ShareLink Default starting size comes from Settings
	Settings A clean Form-based screen, all @AppStorage-backed. Defaults — a sample text that replaces the family-name fallback on Browse, and a preview size that becomes the starting value for the Full Screen Preview slider Feedback — Haptics toggle (light impact on lift-tap, selection on heart-toggle, gated by this setting) Library — destructive Clear Saved Fonts button with a confirmation alert, count-aware footer About — version + build pulled from Info.plist, designer credit, GitHub link

• ImageRenderer — 1080×1080 specimen export at scale 3
• @AppStorage — settings persistence
