Keifont
Sets 2 typefaces side by side at your size. Its fonts come from company and studio websites.
Concept
Keifont sets 2 typefaces against each other at the size and with the text you choose, in an interface styled after Windows 1.0. A website simulator shows the pair on a page layout, and a font finder lists the typefaces any website uses.
The typeface list comes from reading the CSS of company and studio websites: the sites in Typewolf’s index, a type inspiration site, and the companies funded by Y Combinator, the startup accelerator.
Keifont is free, with a tip jar.
