Press release
TypeDNA will introduce the world’s first standalone creative font plug-ins, developed specifically for Adobe’s CS suite. TypeDNA’s Plugged-in solution seamlessly integrates directly into Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, significantly enhancing font capabilities.
During installation each font is analyzed, characteristics are determined and from this data a unique signature is generated. The easy to use interface provides several unique tools that complement the design process. Tools include “Similar Fonts™ (find fonts by similarity)”, Font Harmony” (find header and body font combinations), “Attribute Filters” (filter by weight, width, optical size and italic angle) and SmartChoice™ (let SmartChoice help choose a font).
Visitors to Macworld 2010 (booth 644), will receive a link to download a trial plug-in for Photoshop CS4. Special pre-registered Macworld show pricing will also be available for the March release (starting at $59).
