New in Typeface 3.11.0 (Nov 20, 2023)

  • When grouping fonts by family Typeface automatically displays the font that is closest to regular. This is done based on font meta data. In most cases you'll see the regular font instead of a bold or italic variant, but for some families the meta data may be incorrect or the perfect pick may be ambiguous.
  • Now you can adjust this by manually picking the main preview of a family, such that you'll always see the font you want to see. This is particularly helpful for font families that have symbolic or swash variants which may've been picked instead of a regular variant.
