Type specimen
Compare typefaces in the product's real words, figures, density, weights, symbols, and languages before tokenizing one.
Can this family do the work our interface asks of it?
A narrow job with a visible boundary
Use it while shortlisting fonts and before a family becomes a design-token decision.
Input
Candidate families, actual product copy, representative data, and required script ranges.
Outputs
- One editable comparison page
- Weight, axis, and glyph coverage evidence
- A portable shortlist encoded in the URL
Boundary
The specimen produces evidence, not a score or automatic winner. Coverage claims stop at the tested glyph range.
Invocation

Archivo and alternatives are set in the actual headline, price table, empty state, Cyrillic sample, and narrow navigation labels.
The decision is tested against the product's work.
1 / 2- Pangram decision
Archivo looks good in a foundry specimen.
Archivo and alternatives are set in the actual headline, price table, empty state, Cyrillic sample, and narrow navigation labels.
- Missing glyphs
The family loads, so Russian is supported.
The declared Cyrillic range is checked character by character; missing glyphs are badged and the fallback is made visible.
