Tips for foundry evaluation

Reduce rework on font decisions.
  • 01

    Test with real copy

    Proof production string lengths, not only specimen pangrams.

  • 02

    Check language coverage

    Confirm scripts and symbols you ship before buying.

  • 03

    Archive license links

    Store purchase URLs with the deliverable for client work.

  • 04

    Open checkout in a new tab

    Some commerce flows work best outside the iframe.
