What is TypeDNA?

TypeDNA is a robust, standalone Font Manager and plug-in set that seamlessly integrates with all of the most common host applications including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Microsoft Office. Once integrated, TypeDNA significantly enhances your application's font capabilities. For example, anyone can integrate TypeDNA with Adobe Photoshop to access a unique algorithm set that analyzes, matches and mixes similar font features. Combined, these grant anyone the power to FIND / SORT / CHOOSE / COMBINE and MANAGE fonts quickly and easily without having to understand formal typography rules.

Overview of Features



TypeDNA includes what we call “magic”, or rich functionality that doesn’t rely on any meta data. Magic is easily applied to any PS, TT, OT font or rendered text graphic.
