The app is actually a small utility that simply displays all the fonts on your Mac.

But for now, familiarizing yourself with the available fonts will help you decide if you need additional. Suitcase (Win) / Suitcase Fusion (Mac) Suitcase Fusion (Mac) and Suitcase (Win) are powerful.

If you are one of those people who work with fonts on regular basis, then choosing, comparing and analyzing fonts is a serious business for you. Font management is not always as easy as a walk on the cake. Font management issues like installing and uninstalling fonts, handling missing fonts, taking care of font conflicts always keep graphic designers and typographers on their toes.
Also hundreds or thousands of fonts activated on the system can use up considerable amount of system resources which in turn reduces efficiency and productivity. Mac, Windows and Linux platforms have their own font management utilities, but these utilities are not sufficient in a specialized or professional environment. This is where professional font management tools come to the rescue.

The User Interface of FontExplorer X Pro has been designed to enable seamless management of fonts you’ve installed. Being an enterprise-level software, most features deal with easy sharing and synchronization. As you can see in the screenshots, the UI is rather rudimentary but gets the job done. One thing we loved about the UI is that it integrates very well with macOS.

The real deal of Suitcase Fusion is the bunch of font management options. You can create Smart Libraries of fonts, based on the characteristics and the tool also has Smart Search. This would help you quickly access a bunch of commonly used fonts among others. Similarly, Cloud Sync means that you don’t have to copy the fonts to every device you use.

Depending on the style, Typeface categorizes the fonts into folders like New, Modern, Fixed Width, Fun etc. Of course, you can create categories on your own as well.
