Web typography auditing

Audit websites for typographic consistency, accessibility, and best practices — identifying contrast failures, inconsistent type scales, and performance issues caused by font loading.

Audit the typographic implementation on app.example.com — check contrast ratios against WCAG AA, identify inconsistencies in the type scale, and flag any font loading performance issues.

Audit complete. 4 contrast failures on body text in light grey sections (WCAG AA requires 4.5:1, found 3.2:1 on 3 elements). Type scale uses 7 distinct sizes on desktop but collapses inconsistently on mobile. Web font is loading 380ms late causing visible FOUT. Recommendations provided for each issue.

Lettering and logotype concept generation

Generate concept directions for bespoke lettering commissions — exploring historical styles, contemporary treatments, and structural approaches before investing hours in manual letterform development.

Generate 4 logotype concept directions for a new craft distillery called "Moorland" — exploring a range from heritage Blackletter to modern condensed hand-lettering. Must feel authentic and hand-crafted.

Generated 4 directions: (1) Blackletter with contemporary ink-trap details; (2) Hand-drawn brushscript with landscape flourishes; (3) Condensed bold with textured distressed finish; (4) Engraved serif with fine-line landscape inset. All 4 have strong handmade quality.

Comparison delivered. Monzo: custom circular typeface with strong brand ownership, playful weight contrast. Revolut: grotesque system with cold precision, maximum whitespace. Starling: humanist serif used to signal trust and warmth — distinctive in the category. Detailed analysis of scale and spacing decisions for each brand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AI tools help with the actual craft of type design?

AI tools support the research, concept exploration, and business development aspects of a typographer's practice rather than the technical letterform craft. Generate Image can produce concept direction visuals, Deep Research provides historical and trend context, and Content Repurposer writes specimen and marketing copy — freeing more time for the craft itself.

How useful are web audits for typographers?

The SEO and Page Speed audit tools provide structured checks on contrast ratios, font loading performance, and implementation consistency — the kinds of issues typographers are often hired to solve. They are useful for scoping projects, identifying problems, and documenting before-and-after improvements.

What does the web screenshot tool capture about typography?

Web Screenshot captures full-page renders at both desktop and mobile viewport sizes, making it easy to document type scale behaviour across breakpoints, identify where hierarchy breaks down on mobile, and create visual comparison libraries for audits and presentations.

How can typographers use content tools for their business?

Content Repurposer is useful for writing type specimen copy, foundry product descriptions, educational content about type design, and portfolio case study narratives — all areas where typographers often need strong writing to support their visual work.

How do typographers use Lead Finder for client development?

Lead Finder helps identify creative directors, brand managers, and publishers who commission custom typeface or bespoke lettering work. Targeting by company type and size helps focus outreach on clients most likely to value and budget for custom type work.
