Font Proofer

Font Proofer is made for type designers who are tired of exporting every five minutes just to check kerning or catch a spacing issue. It connects directly with Glyphs and RoboFont so you can see your changes live. No more dealing with broken exports or restarting apps just to clear cache. You keep designing and the proofs update in real time.

You can set up different views like glyph grids, waterfalls, or style comparisons and save them as reusable layouts. It automatically skips blank glyphs so your proof isn’t clogged with empty space. It’s fast, clean, and does exactly what you need without dragging you through a bloated UI. You don’t have to babysit it either. Once it’s set up, it just sits in the background and does its job.

It’s Mac-only, and priced as a subscription model. Initial setup with plugins can be a bit fiddly, especially if you’re not used to customizing your workflow. But once you’re up and running, it’s solid. If you’re serious about type design and want to stop wasting time jumping between apps, Font Proofer is easy to keep open all day.
