The New Instagram for Type Lovers
Posted by fontgear in Interesting, Software, Uncategorized on March 23, 2012
An up & coming app for your iPhone or iTouch – Fontli is the new Instagram for type lovers. It functions nearly the same, with a news feed, page for popular images, a picture feed for friends & the ability to share images on both Facebook & Twitter. Users also have the ability, however, to tag typefaces & add fonts as favorites.
Fontli is still a work in progress. We think it will, hopefully, only improve over time as more type loving folks download the app & begin uploading photos.
And did we mention its free???
You can check it out at www.fontli.com
It’s been crazy around here…

FontDoctor Upgrade Correction
In an earlier press release announcing FontDoctor v8.1 it was erroneously reported that
“The update is FREE to version 7 users. Older version can be upgraded for $19.99.”
This was a typographical error that was picked up from a previous press release. It should have read that the upgrade is free for version 8 users.
We are sorry for any confusion and frustration that this mistake may have caused any of our customers.
