You can find it here: Main Type
I wanted to update my Font threads that I started a month and a half ago and forgot. The quick run down was that I was trying to sort through my folders and folders of fonts, deleting ones that I didn't use, uninstalling but keeping ones that I did use. I had been looking for a font manager that was easy to use but also had some organizing capabilities similar to what I use in ACDSee. I had tried Nexus Font and Font Base and neither were quite what I needed.
Fast forward a few weeks later and I was poking around a different scrap site (sorry, Oscraps
LOL) and was thrilled to see a discussion about font managers especially since the one being discussed was not one I had tried before. (h/t to Heather T!)
I have been using the free version of Main Type for about 2 weeks now and I love that you can tag your fonts, the same I do in ACDSee with scrap supplies. You can add folders that the software scans and you can install/load/unstill fonts with a single click. Another neat thing is that you can create different layouts for what you are using the software for. So far, I have two different layouts, one is for when I am scrapping, the other for when I am tagging fonts. You can tag each font with as many tags as you like which makes it easy to find the style of fonts you are looking for.
For ex, I have Marcelle tagged Brish Script and Grungy. Smash is Grungy and Typewriter.
I know I sound like a commercial but I am really happy with this.
