This is neat. Any plans of adding more characteristics?

@marifevillalon Thank you!! Yes, I'm still working on more features for the site, as well as planning to add more fonts and categories for said fonts :) I'll be announcing the updates as they roll out!

Hey everyone! I created fontdatabase.app after years of seeing frustrated designers struggle to find the perfect fonts for their projects... And sometimes, finding myself in that situation. From idea to launch, the project took 10 days to complete. I wanted the site to be straightforward and to the point, just like all the products The M Company aims to create, so you make the most of your time. More fonts and categories will be added soon! If you have any particular suggestions or comments you can reach out to me via twitter and/or email, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for checking out fontdatabase.app! EDIT: I hear you and I agree! The background colour has been darkened so it's easier on the eye. More than one palette option will be coming out soon so you can try fonts in different bg colours!

If it were possible to manually select the background color from a few options, it would be great!

Pros:

Nice, simple, does the job

Cons:

The sharp red background is not easy on the eye

The background is extremely jarring and unreadable. Please change it. Please, PLEASE change it. Otherwise, it's a good idea! Looking forward to seeing what's next.

@wbhob Hi Wilson! Thanks for checking fontdatabase out. I'll definitely change the background, as I said in my introductory comment, I think I will be adding different options so it's not straining to the eyes, esp for people who don't have 20/20 vision or get tired eyes easily. Will be fixing it asap!

Your Logo is beautiful and meaningful.

Pro easy interface Con Limited selections (How about silly fonts or sexy fonts or even boring fonts) I''m assuming it is for people for whom fonts are not designers for its very basic. Keep working on it It has possibilities. Hey, it's more thani can do!

UPDATE: fontdatabase.app now offers more font suggestions! More and more will always be added. If you have any specific search queries you'd like me to add make sure to hit me up at @TheMComp on twitter 😄

Very cool! @whereskeyser 😃 Maybe add another characteristic for someone who may not be too familiar with fonts and doesn't know them by their names and how they look. For example I just want an alternative to 'Calibri' ? Does that make sense? I see a lot of usefulness in this though.

@mcflydev Hi! The download links for every font are the official ones. Some fonts are free, some are not, but the plan is to add more free, quality fonts in the future. Stay tuned!

@keyser ah yes I'm working on a project to help businesses plan websites much easier and fonts are something I don't really have an eye for. Something like this would be great to plug into my idea.

"a font more formal than Open Sans" > Comic Sans ... hmmm. "a font more serif than ..." > returns grotesk and script fonts... hmmm. Actually that results look totally random to me?
