Stripped-down trial fonts
Reduced character sets and missing weights frustrate designers before they've even started. A crippled trial can't sell the full typeface.
Give designers a better
way to trial your fonts
Designers commit to a typeface once they've seen it living in their own site, with their own content. Typegate gives them exactly that, through a trial link that expires – without you ever giving up your files.
Font trials have always
been a compromise.
Files you can't take back
Downloadable trial files give away more than you're comfortable with. Once a file leaves your hands, you have no control over where it ends up.
Specimens aren't real projects
A specimen page can't show how a typeface behaves in a real layout, with real content, at real sizes. The result is hesitation where there should be confidence.
The solution
The full typeface, on the designer's own website, through a link that expires.
Typegate gives designers a temporary link that loads your complete typeface directly on their own site. They see exactly how it behaves in their real environment – their content, their layout, their sizes. When the trial ends, the link stops working.
-
No files distributed
Your typeface is served from our CDN straight onto the designer's site. Nothing is downloaded, copied, or handed over.
-
The complete typeface
Every weight, style, and glyph you choose to offer – not a reduced character set that undersells your work.
-
Full visibility
See which domains load your fonts during and after trials, all from a single dashboard.
How it works
From upload to insight,
in four steps.
Step 1
Upload your typeface
Share your font files with Typegate through our secure dashboard. Every weight and style you upload becomes available for trial. Your files are encrypted at rest and never distributed to end users.
Step 2
Add a single button to your font pages
Drop one line of embed code onto your existing specimen or product pages. The Typegate button sits wherever you place it and matches your site – no plugins, no redesign.
Step 3
Designers trial on their own website
Designers open a temporary link that loads your full typeface in their own environment. They test it with real content, at real sizes, and the link expires when the trial ends.
Step 4
See how your fonts are being used
Typegate gives you visibility you've never had before. See which domains are loading your fonts – whether it's a developer testing locally or a live commercial project – all in one dashboard, with no extra effort on your side.
