Summary
- The Photoshop font browser is a tool that provides a 25,000 strong catalogue of fonts, allowing the user to see how the font looks in real time, activate new fonts and organise favourites.
- It can be used in several ways, for example trying similar typefaces and picking one out of a selection of 25,000 rather than scrolling through a long list of unfamiliar fonts.
- It benefits designers as it provides a timesaving tool which expands creative options as well as providing organisation through filtering by category.
- There are also practical uses for the every day user, for example creating standout office presentations or identifying fonts.
- It can also be used alongside generative AI for creating mockups.
The font browser is potentially a very useful tool for designers and non-designers alike. It makes the process of selecting fonts much easier and more time efficient, whilst providing a wide range of options. It is also very easy to use, the user simply has to select the type tool, enter the text they want to style, see a preview of the font in real time and filter their options using categories. This makes the design process a lot easier and more accessible generally.
