Since its launch in 2022, Extensis Connect Fonts – a combination of Suitcase Fusion and TeamSync – has been innovating non-stop in the font management industry. Following this merge, the software became a desktop and web-based font manager tool designed to help users find, view, organize, and use different fonts.
Fundamentally, the platform simplifies font management and improves workflow for designers and creative professionals. Features range from font search and sharing to more advanced technology like AI-recommended font pairings.
Each and every one is designed to streamline users’ day-to-day work, whether using macOS or Windows operating systems. Due to this, the intuitive software is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to take their font management to the next level.
When it comes to pricing, the structure couldn’t be more straightforward: there’s only one subscription plan, which costs $10 per month with annual billing. If you don’t want to commit straight away, there’s a 15-day free trial to test the platform first.
Features
Connect Fonts has developed many excellent ways to save users time and energy. For one, there’s the font activation technology, which removes the hassle of installing fonts on a computer system. By having the option to activate the fonts both permanently and temporarily, users are presented with a handy and intuitive way to list their fonts. It’s also helpful that Connect Fonts allows you to sync fonts directly from your computer and from Google Fonts.
Going a step further, there’s a font searching function that locates specific fonts based on particular attributes, such as style or weight. This tool, aligned with the service’s document tracking capability, makes it possible for the platform to detect and find fonts from creative software like Adobe Illustrator and Affinity Designer.
Connect Fonts doesn’t just stop there. Once a desired font is selected, the AI font pairing recommendation will show all the fonts that go together well with the selected font, saving users research, analysis, and pairing time. In the web version, there is also the possibility to add and adapt font licenses to the most recent models.
To access Connect Fonts in full, users must make sure they install the desktop version, since it runs the necessary background processes that enable several features. Even though the desktop app doesn’t need to be kept open, it needs to be installed.
