Search matches directory metadata, not visual similarity.

Previews load only when you ask.

Directory metadata is a starting point. Check the provider’s current styles, language coverage and terms before use.

For the work that follows

Take the search into your project.

Get the local toolkit ↗

Bring your own fonts.

The Python CLI indexes authorized local files, inspects exact styles, and renders real project text. Start with your own collection; a full corpus is optional.

Local font setup ↗

Explore by letterform.

Optional local FontCLIP retrieval searches rendered fonts from a description or typography crop. It reports coverage and does not download model weights during search.

Visual retrieval setup ↗

Give your agent the tools.

JSON CLI and stdio MCP share discovery, family inspection, exact asset resolution, and contextual compositions. Export a shortlist above to carry your direction forward.

Evidence, kept in view

A directory is a beginning.
A decision needs context.

This web directory contains family metadata, with optional Google-hosted previews and provider links. The separate recorded v0.2 local catalog contains 27,520 faces, 8,041 distinct family names and 8,710 family groups.

In three held-out cases, the local harness did not improve final compositions over basic access to the same fonts. Visual references helped in a separate development study. Inspect the work and make the final call.

Side by side

Look at the details.

Same text and size. Previews must be loaded individually; commercial specimens open at the provider.

Know what you are seeing.

No fonts load from external services when you browse. Family names are directory labels, set in this interface’s system font.

“Load Google preview” requests that family’s font stylesheet and files from Google Fonts. Changing the specimen may load additional character subsets for that family. Your browser connects to Google; your custom specimen text is not included in the request. A preview appears only after the browser confirms that a font face loaded.

We show the requested regular weight or the closest declared upright style. The loaded status confirms a browser face, not coverage for every character, every weight, or suitability for your project.

Commercial fonts are metadata and provider links only. View the actual type on its provider’s site and check its current license. No commercial font files are loaded here.

Search uses declared metadata, not the local toolkit’s optional visual model. Shortlists and project notes use this browser’s local storage.
