Typography Insight with Adobe Typekit

Typography Insight + Adobe Typekit

I am excited to announce that Typography Insight for iPad/iPhone now supports Adobe Typekit®. Thanks to Adobe Creative SDK, you can access thousands of fonts from Adobe Typekit by signing in with Adobe ID. Can’t wait to see how design students, educators, and professionals start leveraging Typekit’s rich library for learning, teaching and researching types. The update is available on iOS App Store now.

About Typography Insight
