Congrats on the launch! I've used several font discovery extensions and so far Fonts Ninja is my fav for it's neat easy-to-use UI. Will there be any easy way to copy the color of the font with a click or some shortcut?
Axel Corjon
@jeswawa Thanks! I'm so glad you like Fonts Ninja :) Regarding copying the color, it's kind of a power user feature, but it's already there ;) Check this out: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/b...

Oh really loved it! As a former designer I can see the amount of work are involved on this, and how useful it's for web makers and founders. Hope everyone can see the same and wish you all the best!
Kostya Bolshukhin
@german_merlo1 very useful As a founder who just learnt to do some design, I use their browser extension a lot
Axel Corjon
@german_merlo1 Thank you so much 🫰
Pavel Bocharov
Cool project! One of the features I miss so much is font pairings. Would be lovely if you could build this. My vote goes to you!
Axel Corjon
@pavel_bocharov I hear you, it should be released soon, we're fine-tuning this feature right now ;)

This tool makes finding fonts easy and fun for designers while helping type designers get noticed. Can't wait to use it! 🎨
Axel Corjon
@aztec_elric Thanks! I hope you'll like it :)
Richa Chordia
Congratulations on the launch team! This might significantly reduce the trouble of font pairing & discovery. Is there any addition on top of it, to actually get links to websites from where fonts can be downloaded?
Axel Corjon
@richa_chordia Thanks! We're still updating and adding links to either download fonts (when they're free) or links to buy them :)

Great launch! Does Fonts Ninja support any other browsers besides Chrome?
Axel Corjon

I am using it for a long time now!! FontNinja is a no brainer PS: Axel is without doubt one of the best designers I know

@clementfalchier hoooo ❤️

I love this soo much. As someone who loves to build products, I often try to use different fonts to keep things fresh and Fonts Ninja feels like the ultimate place to find awesome fonts. Quick suggestion: It would be cool if you offer some filters like best for landing pages, best for books, etc.
Axel Corjon
@5harath Thanks! That's something we're working on for the next version 🤫

Hi, Can users contribute their own font collections or is it limited to the ones provided by the platform? Also, how does it integrate with design software like Adobe Illustrator or Figma?
Axel Corjon
@kyrylosilin We can only display typefaces when we have the authorization of type designers foundries. Therefore, we cannot let user add typefaces they own (except if you're the type designer, of course :) ) We're working on adding more feature to let users manage their own collections, but t'as for a future update ;) There's no integration with illustrator or Figma, it's only previews of the fonts for the moment. We're adding links to foundries's website when trial fonts are available. We're also adding links to activate the fonts on Adobe CC when available

I've used this product for many years and it is an excellent one. It doesn't always work perfectly but that's a function of OCR rather this product which is fine. Overall, I have found it very useful over the years and I'm happy to recommend it to others!
Axel Corjon
@frenchmajesty Thank you for your kind words. You'll find the new extension more reliable and way faster than the previous versions (and we're still improving all the time ). I hope you'll also enjoy the font discovery platform :)
Baaz Tournier
Fonts Ninja is such a good extension for fonts, been using it for so many years ! Now that it becomes a Pinterest for fonts, well what to ask more ? This will be so much better than bookmarks. Thanks for this game changer 🙏
Axel Corjon
@therealbaaz thank you so much 🫰
Kehui Guo
This looks great! Finding a good font for product and graphics design is so tough and frustrating sometimes. Excited to try this one out!
Axel Corjon
@kehui_guo thanks! I hope you'll like it. Looking forward to your feedback.
Rumana
Ahhh loooooveee to have so many font pairings in one place - sharing this w my team! I really hope the makers keep updating the fonts because it's an excellent resource for beginners. Is there a way to submit font pairs or that's not part of the plan?
Axel Corjon
@rumanaaah Glad you like it :) there's no way to submit font pairing for now (but you can make your own bookmarks boards and make them public if you want)
Zenda
Bookmarked! I didn't expect that I just discovered Fonts Ninja now. I will use Ninja to find fonts in the future.
Axel Corjon
@zenda1122 glad you like it! :)
Andriy Semenets
Congratulations on the launch! Does it have font pair matching? Ideally, you should be able to select a single font, and it can suggest which fonts play best with the selected one. Great work!
Axel Corjon
@semanser Thanks! We're working on this feature, it should be released soon :)

Big fun of your browser extension! I use it as a part of my reverse-engineering kit. Helps me study products I love to build products loved by others 🫶
Axel Corjon
@kostyabolsh Awesome!
Martin Maričák
Love it!! I was just looking for a typewolf alternative yesterday. I have a small improvement suggestion though: I was just going to ask whether you plan to add filter, but then I discovered that the filter floating button is covered by the cookie notice. Check the screenshot here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/...
Axel Corjon
@martinmaricak Oups, good catch, thanks!
Chandula Perera
this is so cool! Love the clean and minimal UI! Did you make it yourself?
Axel Corjon
@chandula Thanks! Indeed, everything from design, custom font detection algorithm, Similar font machine learning model to fonts visual characteristic extraction is made in-house :)
