The font librarian professionals have been waiting for.
Catalogue every typeface on your Mac. Inspect each one deeply. Group fonts by client project, prove the licensing — without leaving Font Book in chaos.
macOS 14 (Sonoma)+ · Apple Silicon & Intel · One-time purchase
01 · Catalogue
Every font on your Mac, finally in one place.
Your fonts stay where macOS already keeps them — in Font Book, in User Fonts, in Adobe’s folder. FontCurator catalogues every one of them into a single fast, searchable workspace. No imports. No duplicates. No taking your library hostage.
- Live previews, grid or list, light or dark
- Categories & tags — the same font in every cut you’d ever make
- Preview tab with toggleable OpenType chips — alternates, ligatures, stylistic sets, live
- Saved pairings live on the font — recallable from every future project
02 · Project
The project is the unit of work.
Every brand, campaign, or publication gets its own workspace — with a font roster, locale list, pairings, team contacts, and a live readiness scorecard. The feature other font managers don’t take seriously.
- Eight tabs per project: Overview, Fonts, Pairings, Licensing, Team, Readiness, Activity, Export
- Status pills: Ready · Planning · Blocked · Overdue
- Add a font — FontCurator offers its saved pairings for import, in one click
03 · Prove
When the auditor asks, you say yes.
A font is technically capable of Polish; that doesn’t mean it’s cleared for your Polish-market campaign. FontCurator tracks both — font by font, language by language — and exports a single audit-grade PDF when legal calls.
- Per-font & per-project license records, with the invoice + agreement attached
- Language coverage analysed against the CLDR exemplar database for 1,000+ written languages
- One PDF answers “are we good to launch?” and “show me the licensing.”
04 · Compare
Two fonts, side by side.
New in 9.1.0. Choosing between two faces — for a pairing, a substitution, a clearance call? Select both, click Compare, and they open in one window: glyphs, OpenType features, the Private Use Area, and language coverage, aligned row for row.
- Four tabs — Main Latin, Alts + Lig, PUA, Languages — every row aligned by codepoint or feature
- “Show differences only” hides what matches and keeps what differs
- Any cell zooms to a full-scale, side-by-side glyph view you can step through

We recommend the latest version of macOS for both Apple Silicon and Intel builds.
We have tested the following on various M series Apple Silicon Macs:
- macOS 14 (Sonoma)
- macOS 15 (Sequoia)
- macOS 26 (Tahoe)
We have tested the following on Intel Macs:
- macOS 15 (Sequoia)
The FontCurator baseline for macOS integration is macOS 12.0 (Monterey) and while all features should be supported, we have not yet tested it and is therefore not advised.
Intel Macs are supported as of v9.2.0.
If you are having issues, please log a bug report.
Yes. The version you buy today runs for as long as your Mac supports it — no forced updates (free) or upgrades (paid).
- Updates are free patches that fix bugs or issues with the current version. Most updates are recommended, but not mandatory.
- Upgrades are paid new releases with improvements and new features. Upgrades are optional and we will not switch off your version.
We don’t commit to issuing OS-compatibility patches, but when a new major version offers something worth having, existing customers get discounted upgrade pricing. Enter your old key at checkout.
Yes! We offer a completely Free Trial for you to test drive FontCurator.
Once you have purchased a license, digital purchases are final — once a licence key is delivered we can’t take it back.
Try it first and read the feature pages, then make a decision if FontCurator is right for you. Contact Us with any questions you have before you click buy.
Yes. Each seat is a separate licence key that activates on up to two Macs (a single licence covers your laptop + desktop).
NB! FontCurator is not a cloud app, so your font collection will more than likely be different on different Macs.
Buy more seats at checkout for additional users — default is one seat, up to ninety-nine.
