We aim to disrupt the market of big font managers by offering a affordable for every designer (like us) free solution. Our main goal is to create the fastest and the most beautiful and easy to use font manager there is.

We already got a lot of positive feedback from our userbase. In the first day of launch on Product Hunt (https://www.producthunt.com/posts/fontbase-2-0) we got over 600 upvotes. Our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/FontBaseApp) has over 600 subscribers and our email newsletter (http://eepurl.com/bEUj9j) has over 900 users on list. For us this means, that we definitely doing something in the right way. In the future we plan to implement a lot of awesome features, like single click Google fonts install; a way to monitor all the new fonts, that are published on the web; cooperating with font foundries and designers to allow rent and test font seamlessly in the app and in design software.

We are designers by ourselves, and we are creating a tool for designers, just like us. This is why we are getting a lot of fun out of our work and this is why FontBase will become the best font manager out there.
