Finding the right font shouldn’t require searching through a thousand local files, dozens of bookmarks, Pinterest boards, Are.na channels, and half-remembered websites.
But for many designers, that is exactly what font discovery looks like.
After six years as a freelance brand designer, dustbunni has collected more than 1,000 fonts across the internet. There is still no single place where she can organize them, search by a creative idea, discover visually similar options, and find free alternatives when a client’s budget requires one.
She wants someone to build that place.
The exact product is up to you. It might let designers collect fonts from anywhere online, organize personal libraries, search with descriptive keywords, find similar typefaces, or discover free alternatives to paid fonts.
It doesn’t need to contain every font in existence. It needs to make finding the right one meaningfully faster.
Build it alone, with a team, or with AI. Start with one frustrating part of font discovery and solve it exceptionally well.
The goal isn’t to create another enormous font marketplace. It’s to prove that designers will pay for a thoughtfully designed tool that helps them move from a visual idea to the right typeface. If you can build it, ship it, and find five customers, we’d love to see what you make.
