Font Proofer
Proofing a font usually means scripts, Python and a lot of setup. I wanted type designers to skip all of that.
You drop your fonts in a folder and talk to Claude in plain words. It reads the fonts, asks what you need and builds the proofs inside a container you never have to open. I presented it at TypeLab 2026.
What I did
- Three specialists split the work: a typographer, a font engineer and a web engineer.
- /init-font reads metrics, character coverage, languages, OpenType features and variable axes.
- Vector PDF proofs with waterfalls, kerning tests and language specimens.
- Fonts stay on your machine. They are never committed or uploaded.
