About FontBase
FontBase is a font manager for Mac, Windows, and Linux. It is designed to organize large font libraries into collections, show fonts from existing folders, and activate fonts for use without a separate installation step. The homepage describes the app as free, but the source does not confirm pricing details, so cost is not stated here.
FontBase also includes tools for checking and using type. A specimen page shows font styles, glyphs, and font table data. A glyph viewer lets users copy glyphs from any font. A Playground tab applies styling to headings and page elements and can export the generated CSS for web projects. The homepage also mentions Google Fonts access and a Teams section, though the excerpt gives no detail on either beyond the listed features.
