Preview Text in VariousFonts Installed on your Computer All At Once

When ever I sit down to design something on any applications like Photo-shop, the very first time consuming thing is selection of fonts. It is true that fonts are the integral part of Web designing & Graphics and choosing the best from thousands of fonts installed on our computer by selecting each one by one and looking which looks perfect, It’s a very time consuming task.

The problem is not only mine. Most of the designer waste lots of time in picking up the unique and beautiful fonts for their design.  I found a new service which lets you clearly preview all the fonts installed on your computer.

Wordmark.it is a free and simple web based tool that previews all the fonts it finds on your computer. The service is very easy-to-use. Suppose you have to make a logo for your new website then you just have to open wordmark.it and enter your blog name. It scans your computer for all the available fonts and preview the text (Blog Name) in fonts installed on your computer all at once. Look at the below image.

The preview size can be adjusted and you can also see it in positive and negative. You can pick the ones you like and filter them out from the rest to fine tune you selection. Now I’m going to use this tool whenever I’ll need to make a new logo for my websites. This tool will make the lives of designers a bit better.
