Save in Glyphs. See it in your proof.
Font Proof connects directly to Glyphs. Move a point, adjust your spacing, toggle a feature. It shows up in your proof before you can put your coffee down. Save your Glyphs file and your proof is already looking back at you.

What you see is what you print.
You're working on the actual PDF the entire time. Not a preview that kind of looks like one. Swap a font, adjust the spacing, add a section. Already updated. Print whenever.
A proof for every kind of staring.
Waterfalls, glyph grids, columns and rows, style comparisons, basic text, and markup annotation. Each one built for a different kind of looking. Because you don't evaluate kerning the same way you evaluate texture.
Bring your own text.
Link a .txt, .rtf, or .md file to any section or grid cell. Edit the file, the proof updates. You can finally stop pasting the same kerning string into every document you open.
Mix fonts in the same paragraph.
Auto mode distributes fonts across your text by weighted probability. Great for testing how a family reads in running copy. Manual mode lets you tag exact ranges with specific styles. Either way, you'll know fast whether your roman and italic are getting along.
Save the proof. Swap the font.
Pangrams, spacing tests, kerning pairs, diacritics for 26 languages. All built in as section templates. Proof templates save everything else: sections, fonts, settings, page size. Build your proof once, drop any font into it later.
If you give a shit about trees.
Freeze a PDF snapshot and mark it up right there. Freehand pen, text annotations, adjustable colors and stroke widths. Your notes live inside the proof file, not on a Post-it stuck to your monitor.
Pay once. Proof forever.
No subscription. No seats. No nonsense. Buy it once, own it forever, and keep proofing while you draw. Every update is included.
