Next Time You Feel Like Rockin' Out to Filosofia

We’ve always thought the best font names sound like really good band names. And, come to think of it, fonts are a lot like songs: you download them, you share them illegally with your friends, and until you have a good way to organize them, they just sit in a folder, semi-alphabetized by artist. So thanks, Keith Scharwath, for reminding us about the goodness of Linotype FontExplorer. This is the iTunes of typeface management, with the ability to search, buy and index fonts all within a lovely familiar interface. And it’s free.

But wait, there’s more! Need to see an entire page of text in Gridnik? Linotype FontExplorer. Want to know the legal ramifications of using Water Tower? Linotype FontExplorer. Curious about the ampersand in Hobo? Linotype FontExplorer. Miss the latest episode of “Lost”? iTunes. Just checking.
