What people are saying about Typefitter

InReview: Typefitter 5, InDesign Magazine, June 2021
-
Since its introduction, Typefitter has been my number one plug-in for InDesign. I refuse to upgrade to a new version of InDesign until Typefitter is compatible—it’s that important to my workflow.
—Jamie McKee, MacKey Composition
-
I have just discovered today your Typefitter 5 plug-in, and it seems quite brilliant and time-saving. I already suspect that I’ll subscribe before the end of the trial, or even before the end of the day…
—Olivier Murith, Binocle

I just read Jamie McKee’s rave review of TF5. I work with several magazines and publishers, who I will insist buy this invaluable product.

Deliver beautiful type, the easy way
Nudge Adobe InDesign’s Paragraph Composer to tighten or loosen text using Typefitter’s intuitive panel. Create the best version of your text using Typefitter’s Copyfit slider to quickly and harmoniously adjust word spacing, letter spacing, glyph scaling, and optionally, tracking.
Not sure what you’ve adjusted or by how much? Not a problem. Turn on the Copyfit highlighter to reveal the relative tightness or looseness of text with variable tints. For more granular detail on text adjustments, click to expand the Copyfit section and reveal the precise justification or tracking values applied.

Uncover common typographic issues in seconds
Subtle changes in typography can impact the way your readers react to your content. While they may not realise when they’re looking at perfection, you’d better believe your readers will notice if your text is poorly set.
Enter, Typefitter! Quite possibly the best plug-in for Adobe InDesign, Typefitter finds and recommends fixes for common typographic issues in your document; and with the Professional edition, Typefitter can automatically apply those fixes in a single step!

Highlight distracting text rivers
Sometimes, the space between words can divert your readers’ attention due to an unexpected vertical gap (or river) running through a paragraph of text.
Instead of squinting at your screen or turning a page proof upside down to see patterns and shapes in the text, simply enable Typefitter’s white space river highlighter to reveal only those word spaces that more or less align across consecutive lines, and then use the Copyfit slider to adjust the flow of text.
