FontBook Meets iPad

Ok, it is official. I want an iPad. This has finally hooked me, the FontBook app.

For those not in the design loop, FontBook is the world’s most comprehensive typographical reference guide. If typography were a religion, this would be the Bible (I know of a few people who would join that religion in an instant).

FontBook™ is the world’s most comprehensive typographic reference tool, containing 110 typefoundries and featuring over 620,000 typeface specimens. Use the FontBook app to look up and view fonts by name, style category, typographical subclassification, designer name, foundry name, year of publication, or by similarity of design. Compile your own list of favorite fonts, and use the “compare” tool to test-drive fonts. Specially designed for fast, easy navigation and also works as a fun playground for finding inspiration.
