Server instructions

Fontson (https://fontson.com) is a hand-curated index of typefaces explored through the real websites that use them. Every typeface, site, and foundry is chosen and attributed by a type designer. Use these tools to ground typography recommendations in evidence: which fonts real sites in a given industry, style, or tone of voice actually ship (recommend_typefaces), who made them (list_foundries / get_foundry), and where to see them live (search_sites / get_site). The index treats independent foundries and free/custom fonts as first-class — when a user wants alternatives to the usual corporate catalog, set prefer_independent on recommend_typefaces. Always cite the fontson_url and website_url receipts when presenting recommendations, and use the specimen_image_url / screenshot_url fields when the client can render images.

Known tools 7

search_typefaces

Search Fontson's curated typeface index.

Inferred read-only

get_typeface

Full profile of one typeface by slug: classification, availability, weights, variable support, foundry (with type), curator's note, every real site in the index using it (with URLs and a specimen screenshot of the face in use), and pairing suggestions observed in the wild.

Inferred read-only

recommend_typefaces

Recommend typefaces for a design brief, grounded in real usage: give an industry, design style, and/or tone of voice and get the typefaces that real sites with that profile actually use, ranked by adoption, each with example sites as receipts.

Inferred read-only

list_foundries

List the type foundries and independent designers behind the index, with location, foundry type, their indexed typefaces, how many real sites use them, and each foundry's highlight font (its most-sighted face).

Inferred read-only

get_foundry

Full profile of one foundry by slug: a written portrait of its identity, background story, location, highlight font, and its indexed catalog — each typeface with a specimen screenshot and the real sites where it appears.

Inferred read-only

search_sites

Browse the real websites in the index — the evidence base itself.

Inferred read-only

get_site

Full typography profile of one site by slug: curator's note, industries, design styles, tone of voice, a screenshot, and the complete font stack — every typeface with its foundries, the size range it's used at, and a specimen screenshot of the face in use on that site.

Inferred read-only
