Glyphbook
Type specimen builder
2025
A lightweight builder for type specimens that lets small foundries publish a family as a fast, readable single page
Background
Independent type designers often release beautiful families with specimen pages that load slowly and read poorly on phones. Glyphbook gives them a simple starting point that respects the letters.
What is inside
A handful of flexible layouts for waterfalls, weights, glyph grids and paragraph tests, all driven by one settings file. Designers drop in their font files, pick the sections they need and publish a static page in minutes.
Result
Six small foundries used Glyphbook for their latest releases, and the average specimen page now loads in under a second on a phone.
