# Font Proof

> Font Proof is a macOS app for type designers that generates font proofs, the typographic test documents used to evaluate typefaces in development. It watches your Glyphs file and rebuilds a real PDF proof the moment you save. One-time $100 license, 14-day free trial, requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. Made by Minim Industries.
