App is a must-have for designers and users who want to learn more about type

Any designer worth their weight in beans will agree that typography is an extremely important part of what they do, not to mention an essential piece of your daily life. The art of arranging type is a deep and involved process, covering everything from simply choosing a font to settling on type placement and the proper use of glyphs.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

Great type reference in the palm of your hand!

I have been waiting for something like this to hit the iPhone and it's finally here. Great app, tons of useful material if you are a Graphic Designer or work with type. I find myself going into my print books less and less for reference, this app has almost everything you need. Awesome!
