The AI workspace for your font collection

The AI workspace for your font collection

Every designer hoards fonts. They're in a folder on your desktop. A backup on an external drive. A collection in a font manager you stopped using. Downloads from foundry websites mixed in with your regular downloads. Screenshots of fonts you spotted in the wild but never identified. PDFs of type specimen sheets you saved from somewhere. The collection grows, and the retrieval gets worse. You know you have a condensed sans-serif that would work for this project. You can picture it. Finding it means scrolling through hundreds of files with names like "AkzidenzGrotesk-BoldCondensed.otf" hoping to recognise the one you're thinking of.

Fabric turns your font collection into a searchable library where you find typefaces by describing the style, not by remembering the filename.

Search by style, not filename

AI search finds fonts and type specimens by description. "Geometric sans-serif with tall x-height" finds matching specimens. "Handwritten script with thick strokes" finds the display fonts that match. "Something like Futura but warmer" describes a direction and surfaces candidates. The search reads inside specimen sheets, screenshots, and documentation.

Similar search lets you drop in a type specimen or a screenshot of lettering and find everything visually related in your library. "More like this" is the fastest way to explore adjacent options.

Screenshots, specimens, and reference images

Much of a working font collection isn't font files. It's screenshots of type in use, saved specimen sheets, reference images of lettering, and photos of signage you captured on your phone. These are as valuable as the font files themselves for making typographic decisions, and they're the hardest to find.

AI search reads inside images and finds them by visual content and text. The screenshot of the restaurant menu with the beautiful serif is findable by describing it. The specimen sheet PDF is searchable by the styles it demonstrates. Smart organization groups type references by visual style automatically.

Canvas for type exploration

The canvas lets you arrange type specimens, font pairings, and reference images spatially. Lay out pairing candidates side by side. Build a typographic direction board for a project. Compare weights and styles visually. Test a headline face against body copy options. Real-time collaboration means the creative team explores type together.

Annotate with project context and licensing

Annotations let you add notes to fonts and specimens: "used for the Acme rebrand," "pairs well with the body serif," "free for commercial use," "client rejected, too playful," "variable weight, good for responsive." The annotations are searchable, so "every font I used for client projects" or "fonts with commercial licences" or "variable fonts" produces the relevant set. The production context is as findable as the typeface itself.

The library compounds over time

Every font you download, every specimen you save, every photograph of type in the wild deepens a library that becomes more useful as it grows. A typeface you saved from a foundry newsletter two years ago surfaces when similar search connects it to a reference you just uploaded. The collection becomes a living resource rather than a folder of forgotten downloads.

Capture new finds from anywhere

Photograph signage on the mobile app. Screenshot type specimens from the web. Save foundry pages with the web clipper. Forward type-related emails to email-to-note. Everything feeds the same searchable collection.

Connected to design projects

Your font collection lives alongside the projects it serves. When working on a design project, the type references and specimens are searchable in the same library as the brief, the moodboard, and the deliverables. For managing the full brand type system, see brand assets and brand guidelines.
