Oh wow, I was searching for a font manager, I haven't thought about font book for a second! Brilliant idea and so simple, thank you. I will definitely try it now
I've put probably 5 hours into doing this for my entire font collection, and I just recently realized that I'm going to have to put this down as like a "do while flying w/o internet" sort of to-do list.
I just bought a set up so I can start working on design at home and not just school, so I need to know how to organize and find fonts that aren't the defaults! Thanks for your channel! (love your hair too)
Thanks for this video. As a Mac user there are so many things about it that I find by trial and error. However, since I'm gearing up for more book work (ghostwrite, compile, edit, layout, and cover creation) I needed to understand Font Book more, so thanks for this. Great. You present the subject matter in a very easy and focused manner... something that a lot of people on UA-cam don't do very well.
It can take me hours to choose the right font for a project, so I've been looking for an efficient way to organize my fonts. Thank you so much for a sharing this video!
I remember using something like this a few years ago & never took the time to really learn how to use it. Because of you, I have re-installed it & use it every time I work on a new design. It would be really great if someone would incorporate this into Photoshop as a plugin, so you could organize the fonts you have in different categories, while using Photoshop. Maybe some "smarter-than-me" plugin maker will see this and do it! ;) Thanks for all you do!
I was just saying to myself that I needed to up my font organization game but it urns our I already use the same tools in the same way as you do! Thanks for the affirmation. 😁 I also have "brand" folders for each of my clients or each of my own ventures and an "incoming" folder for fonts I haven't sorted yet.
Wow. I've actually never thought about making my own folders in Font Book. I'm totally going to do that now. I always end up having to scroll through a million fonts to find the one I'm looking for. Although, when I design web projects I usually have my favorites synced from typekit anyway. But for other projects this will be super helpful!
I've never really looked at font book a part from when I install them initially but this is really useful to do! Definitely something I'll need to look at getting sorted as I know the ones I've downloaded live all over my folders so at least this keeps them all together in the one place and properly organised!
Great idea! I should start doing that as well. What I do is I save my fonts into my external hard drive after I download them on to my computer. What do you do with those PDF or READ ME or Licence TEXT that they come with the fonts? Do you save them as well?
Kevin Plays Guitar this is probably bad but I usually delete the PDF/specimens of well known fonts and sometimes I just keep them in their respective folders on external hardrive. I personally don’t need them because I’m using the fonts for personal use and not commercially.
+ItsJustJoeTV it was just through connections id made/people I knew that I got my first clients! And still to this day word of mouth or meeting people is how ive gotten all my freelance jobs. As for my first full time design job tho I just applied for one I saw advertised. I do use email but not very effectively at the moment!
Charli I enjoyed this video so much! You're always so informative and it's just lovely listening to you. I'm definitely inspired to sort through the mountain of fonts I've collected over the years (or I should wait for a weekend to tackle this monster..) Great video as always!
Great tutorial. I've watched several & this is by far the best & clearest! Thank you. Two questions: 1. Can you explain the location of the User Folder / where to put my downloaded fonts? 2: I'm setting up two computers - is there a way to copy/migrate the folders I've set up to a second computer so they're the same? -- Many thanks!
I would advise you to save all your fonts in a folder within your document system after you install them so you can easily install them on new computers in the future. I’m not aware of a way to easily transport fonts and folders to a new machine unless you clone the old Mac when you set up a new one. That doesn’t mean it’s not possible tho! I just haven’t looked into it
Love your videos, Charlie. Been watching for a long time! Thanks for everything you share. I have a question... when I transfer my organized fonts (like you have) to a new Mac I lose the organization folders. Have you had that problem? Or, am I doing something wrong??? Thanks!!!
I knew there was a way to organize fonts I've just never gotten around to it. Cool to see so,some actually does. Does adobes typekit have organizing functionality? Never spent enough time in there to know I guess. Really wish there was a more intuitive system directly in photoshop!
+kyle baxter im not sure! I've not spent much time in there either. Yes wouldn't it be great to be able to see collections from within the menu in a design programme??
I think it would be really helpful to discuss where and how you organise your fonts on your HD. Also, when importing into FontBook, does it create duplicate versions of the font files elsewhere on the computer?
awesome video! would you mind detailing on how you keep your files organised? :) between photos, videos, projects, schoolwork, and random garbage i like to download for inspiration/ideas, i have tried so many different filing systems and have not found one that is effective and usable. :(
+Obscura x guess what I already have one! I filmed it last year but it's still accurate :) it's in my workflow playlist I think or search 'the best way to organise design files' on my channel.
Another Great Vid! Can you use google fonts for print projects and logos? ie corporate logos that might be trademarked and things that might be sold on tshirts etc? and if you do, do you need to attribute them? maybe you could do a vid about how you generally go about designing branding?
I can see the use of having them organized outside of the applications, but what I'd really like is consistent, robust, and customizable sorting options WITHIN the adobe products themselves. I noticed that the latest version of Illustrator does have some sorting options but I wish there were more options and that you could customize the tags or whatever it is that they use to sort out what sort of font a particular font is. Do you know of any 3rd party plugins that can do this sort of thing and actually make it easier to scroll through a narrower font "genre" within the Adobe apps, like InDesign in particular?
yep that's best to do! In case you get a new computer and need to install your fonts on that. (i was going to mention that in this video but it was alredy getting long, so I'm glad you asked!)
well, good for u but if you are a windows PC user?? and once organised, would they appear in groups in your powerpoint drop down for instance? sorry not a mac user, so thx but no thanks. :(
What you're doing is so cool, I loved the soundtrack that played at your intro on this video, I checked for the link in the description but I didn't got the exact soundtrack, please provide me the link to the exact soundtrack here in the reply please!
Hi Charli ... just wonder, how can you live in London, while you're from NZ maybe I can follow your step :) oh ya, where can I find the font book that your using ? thanks
+Lewi Nikijuluw font book comes preinstalled on Apple computers :) and you should check out my vlogs about moving to London from a few years ago! They should help answer a lot of questions about moving :)
Challenge Idea! You have 25-30 minutes to create a story and bring it to life through a simple doodle-like animation! P.S. I love the style of your videos :)
Hi Cahrli, Thanks it was helpful. But I still have a ton of questions... Some fonts seem to come with different adobe apps. I feel lost as I look online to see if I have the licence for them or not. Some may be for sale, but I don't recall downloading them. Some It seams come with a specific app as I find them only there.. Many more questions. Please help :)
I believe Ian Barnard used to run under the moniker 'Vintage Design Co.' - but I think he just goes with his name now. Just a heads up ;) Great video & channel!
Haha, not a problem, and yeah, in your font list you've got it listed as Vintage Type Co. - I got excited when I saw the label but quickly realized those weren't my fonts.
I bought the font managing program Suitcase fusion like a year ago and I still haven't worked out how to use it. I might as well just do this if it works so well.
That would be cool!! Fontbook is just built in to Mac OS so there won’t be a version of exactly this for Windows, but just research font managers and see what other windows users might recommend!
Hi Charli, I have a question about computer fonts... whatever comes with your computer and your programs.. are they ok to use commercially? Logos, apparel, etc? Thanks!
a lot. haha. It basically syncs all google fonts and Typekit fonts to your computer and automatically filters your fonts into categories such as serif, san-serif, slab, script, weight etc. Maybe you could make a video about it. Its definitely a tool alot designers would find useful.
i am using a font and it puts the dingbats first so when i try and use it in ms word it doesn’t work. how do i change the order in fonts so that the regular version goes first
I've been meaning to do this for some time...I've been relying on the filters in the illustrator drop down box, but that doesn't give you a nice clear picture of the font like font book
Informative, but could have shown HOW a user accesses the fonts when using Text in Adobe. Does the font show up in the drop down TEXT menu in Photoshop..?
A Windows alternative would be nexusfont - www.xiles.net/ It's basically the same as Font Book, it just has a bit more functionality - you can type out your text to see how it will look with each font, rather than looking at the default characters :)
Did you try it? Just type in the Font Preview in Font Book to see whatever you want. That text will then persist when you change fonts. Great for logo shortlists! Boost the font size and take quick screen snaps of the preview with the Font name. The regular print option only prints the standard alphabetic sample preview, not your sample text but is good for making a pdf sample book of your fonts.
Oh dear - I've so wanted to do this for years. But - I can't see how to install FONT BOOK on my Windows PC. I've been googling it, but no luck so far. It just asks me "Are you using a Windows ARM based device?" Anyone have any ideas? I have hundreds of fonts - but no option down the left hand side for organising them as shown in your video. HELP SOMEONE PLEASE!! I do have an Apple password and I Phone - but would like it on my desktop.
Matt Duncan there as far as I know, there is no such way to organize fonts within photoshop. You’d have to use a font organizer before hand and then find the fonts manually inside your design software.
@@mattduncan5500 You can use Font book to search for the font you want. You can type in demo text to see how it looks. Then just pick it in the program you are using.
everyone should be concerned about producing legal designs! it depends what fonts you collect i suppose :) I like buying fonts from indie font designers below the $20 price tag.
omg my gosh that's so interesting you think that! I'm actually INFJ! (Introverted Sensing with Extraverted Feeling) I think people assume that introverts can't be confident, so many people assume I'm an extrovert because I'm a friendly person on and off camera, but really it's all about where you get your energy from, and I totally thrive off having the time and space to be in my own thoughts. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy social situations, but it just means they exhaust me so I have to recharge! :)
You can be introverted, however if you attach yourself to a ROLE and specific environment you can then play out that role VERY WELL ...and CHARLIES does a fantastic job....*****
CharliMarieTV I have the same thing that people assume I must be extroverted. It's hard work having to explain that I want to be on my own to recharge but nothing is wrong! (INFP btw)
+StangeBeing The next W10 update is specifically called the 'Creators' update, I'd be really surprised if there wasn't something to help with this, you can look at all fonts in a folder but you can't organise them.
+PAdenmark agreed! It shows that Apple is more focussed on creatives than Microsoft. Tho it will be interesting to see the creators update to Windows 10!
I work as a full stack developer, although I much prefer the development side to things, I still have much to learn for the design aspects! Also, great work on your videos, loving them!
That is very true. I think it's just a bit of a shame when the term gets misused. As a graphic designer it feels important to me to use the terms correctly. I don't really get purposefully calling something by its incorrect name :-)
I'm not too sure why I watched this whole video since I've never downloaded a font before, but I just really enjoy your videos 😁
+Ariel Bissett hahaha I love this comment Ariel!
Oh wow, I was searching for a font manager, I haven't thought about font book for a second! Brilliant idea and so simple, thank you. I will definitely try it now

I am SO gonna go organize all of my fonts now! haha I love nerdy videos like this
+katherinethe19th yasss me too 😆 I love that there are people out there who will watch and enjoy this neediness it gives me hope for the world!

yeah it's a shame font book only shows installed fonts, not synced ones as it's be nice to have everything in the same place!
I love that you don't put ads in your videos. It really shows that you have a genuine heart for helping people learn!
I've never really looked at font book a part from when I install them initially but this is really useful to do!

Charlie thanks for sharing. Please how did you create the font book?
I didn’t create it it comes as a standard application on Mac :)
How did you get started...meaning like how did you originally promote your self to get your first job or clients?
and do you do any email marketing?
+ItsJustJoeTV it was just through connections id made/people I knew that I got my first clients! And still to this day word of mouth or meeting people is how ive gotten all my freelance jobs. As for my first full time design job tho I just applied for one I saw advertised.
I do use email but not very effectively at the moment!
Thank fudge for this video!! Thanks Charli xx
My grandfather had similar glasses to yours. In the early 80's.
Sick burn
Charli I enjoyed this video so much! You're always so informative and it's just lovely listening to you. I'm definitely inspired to sort through the mountain of fonts I've collected over the years (or I should wait for a weekend to tackle this monster..) Great video as always!

Also I would recommend to copy the fonts from your font library and migrate them to a separate folder in your external hard drive just in case
Awesome thank you. Was frustrated scrolling for hours through my fonts
This was really helpful! Like the idea of having then foundries listed first.
+Justin Jackson thanks Justin, glad you thought so!

Lifesaver. I need to clean up my mess. Don't want to go through 1000 fonts every time.

hair on point!! i always have troubles with fonts! my fonts are always really messy but its okay 😂
+CullanAndTravis as long as it's not bothering you then I make no judgements whatsoever about mess!
Haha, I never paid attention to the Collections feature of Font Book - this is brilliant, thanks as always Charli! off to organize...
+Dan Nazar wishing you good luck! Hehe
Great vid. Do these work with the Adobe suite as when you select a font in FontBook it is updated of auto selected in the program being used?
Font Book is a font manager so it's a way of installing, viewing and organising fonts. you still have to select the font in the program unfortunately!
Thanks! Sorry for the delayed response.
So this is for apple only?
Is very simple, but very usefull. Thanks for sharing your knoledge :)
Thank you. I struggle with the font styles. Like which is sans or serif etc. so hard.
Very useful , thanks !
I really enjoy your videos! Can you make a video for organizing Icons
+Anojan Sivaranjan I tend to use Noun Project for icons so don't have a system of my own for organising them exactly sorry!
Awesome video! definitely going to do this!
go forth and organiseee!
Hey! Question, how many kinds of fonts do you usually use for web design projects?
+J Lizaso generally just a couple! It can be confusing and not look cohesive to use too many in one project.
I need to sit and do this actually....its gonna be hard now as i have around 2500+ fonts...wish me luck...Loved the video btw...!
+Twinkle Jumani eep good luck!! It will so be worth it once you're done :)
That intro was sick!
Are you saving the fonts at a special place? external hard drive or at the computer?
yep that's best to do! In case you get a new computer and need to install your fonts on that. (i was going to mention that in this video but it was alredy getting long, so I'm glad you asked!)
what is the way to do? you did not say where you install them? computer or external?
Fabitalism both.
well, good for u but if you are a windows PC user?? and once organised, would they appear in groups in your powerpoint drop down for instance? sorry not a mac user,
so thx but no thanks. :(

Hi Cahrli,
Thanks it was helpful. But I still have a ton of questions...
Some fonts seem to come with different adobe apps. I feel lost as I look online to see if I have the licence for them or not. Some may be for sale, but I don't recall downloading them. Some It seams come with a specific app as I find them only there..
Many more questions. Please help :)
are you talking about Typekit perhaps? Which is part of adobe cloud? If so, you have the right to use fonts installed through typekit :)
CharliMarieTV Yup. Thats it. Thanks
Windows 10 doesn't have any inbuilt software like Mac OS has, Can you suggest any good software for Windows?
Thanks in Advance :)
there are some suggestions in the comments for windows! I can't remember the name of it right now but have a scroll through and you'll see it :)
I believe Ian Barnard used to run under the moniker 'Vintage Design Co.' - but I think he just goes with his name now. Just a heads up ;)
Great video & channel!
thanks! This video was made several months ago when that was still the name of his creative market shop/website
Right, it used to be Vintage Design Co. :P
+Vintage Type Co. did I say it wrong or something? You have to realise this video was filmed in like March so I don't remember it word for word 😂
Haha, not a problem, and yeah, in your font list you've got it listed as Vintage Type Co. - I got excited when I saw the label but quickly realized those weren't my fonts.
awhh I'm sorry! what's your site? I'd love to check out your fonts :)
I bought the font managing program Suitcase fusion like a year ago and I still haven't worked out how to use it. I might as well just do this if it works so well.
i've been hearing good things about suitcase fusion from people in the comments of this video and on twitter!
is there a windows version? It would be cool if there were icons for licences or notices, if we could mark by the colour or something similar.
That would be cool!! Fontbook is just built in to Mac OS so there won’t be a version of exactly this for Windows, but just research font managers and see what other windows users might recommend!
Where can I find Font Book app. It doesn't show up in the app down loader
Hi Charli,
I have a question about computer fonts... whatever comes with your computer and your programs.. are they ok to use commercially? Logos, apparel, etc?
Thanks!
great question, I don't know the answer to that off the top of my head sorry.
Thanks for this! Actually I have around 150~ but rarely use 12-15 as it takes time to find the right one. Thanks Again!
+Tejas Tank exactly! When it's difficult to find others you just reach for the ones you know.
How do you organize licenses etc?
What are your tips for organising Web Fonts in MAC os?
Hey Charli, another great vid! I really recommend trying RightFont. It's not free, I think it's about $50, but it's great. Thanks from a fellow Kiwi.

How expensive is collecting fonts ? I imagine it can become very expensive practice if ur concerned about producing Designs that are legal
everyone should be concerned about producing legal designs! it depends what fonts you collect i suppose :) I like buying fonts from indie font designers below the $20 price tag.

CharliMarieTV wooa I was wrong. Oh, and this video is about how to 'organize', how stupid I was. You know what I mean :)
You can be introverted, however if you attach yourself to a ROLE and specific environment you can then play out that role VERY WELL ...and CHARLIES does a fantastic job....*****
CharliMarieTV I have the same thing that people assume I must be extroverted. It's hard work having to explain that I want to be on my own to recharge but nothing is wrong! (INFP btw)
Don't forget to delete that Unnamed Collection. :D
+Lukáš Vavrek haha good point 😂
it is only possible on Mac, not for windows
yep, this is a Mac standard application.
@@charlimarieTV :) thx
Again mac rises above windows with this stuff. I know windows got some 3rd party prgrams
Hopefully when W10 replaces the entire Control Panel maybe they'll make a font browser too..
+StangeBeing The next W10 update is specifically called the 'Creators' update, I'd be really surprised if there wasn't something to help with this, you can look at all fonts in a folder but you can't organise them.
+PAdenmark agreed! It shows that Apple is more focussed on creatives than Microsoft. Tho it will be interesting to see the creators update to Windows 10!
People still download fonts? Usually I just use Google Fonts, unless it's like a branding font then I would use them.
+_Unique_ im a designer and I work using design software, so fonts are very necessary! :)
I work as a full stack developer, although I much prefer the development side to things, I still have much to learn for the design aspects! Also, great work on your videos, loving them!

+Lauren Keeley 😂 this is one of those things I think really doesn't matter!
Yeh fair enough, I know a lot of people don't care. But technically it is just the wrong word.
i mean, the software is called FontBook though, and technically you are organising fonts too since fonts are within typefaces!
But i get your point :)
That is very true. I think it's just a bit of a shame when the term gets misused. As a graphic designer it feels important to me to use the terms correctly. I don't really get purposefully calling something by its incorrect name :-)
