Amazing
As an aspiring typographer myself, I find this app extremely useful. Not only does it have references, complete access to Adobe Typekit, and 3 categories of information, but there are practice activities where you can get better at kerning, measuring, comparing, etc. I would highly recommend this to anybody interested in Typography.

Typography Insight
This is a great application for those who are interested in the study of Typography. The app title is a perfect description as you can gain insight into the study of Typography with a learning basics section, a section on the main examples of fonts and styles used in our everyday life, and even learn directly with practice activities contained inside. The design itself is a compliment to the application as you can easily navigate the clear white interface that allows you to hone in on the visuals presented without any external visual noise getting in your way. The app wouldn't be as effective with bad design and it also would be somewhat ironic if it had.
Mr_Elmore,
Very interesting app
Just a neat series of little interactive displays that teach you all sorts of things you never knew about typography. A fun relaxing app with a clean, intuitive interface and a pleasant design. Makes you wish more apps would follow suit. Look forward to future updates.
Davi600,
Suggestion...
Pinch to zoom on the overlay comparison should allow for resizing only the left or right glyph (if gesture is conducted on the edge rather than center of the screen).
___________nope,
Ok but not worth the money
So I got this app cause I wanted to work on my kerning and leading. I thought this app was going to be really interactive and more of a game to help me learn but it is more informative and not very helpful. There is a kerning “game” but the app does not have any information on what to do with the app. Not worth the few bucks
bill.j,
Excellent app
This app makes it so easy to compare typefaces and understand similarities/differences between them. I've been a type geek for over forty years, and I still was able to (quickly) garner new insights into type design the first time I launched the app. Sure, it would be nice to be able to compare a larger collection of typefaces, but Typography Insight will help train the eye to have a better idea of what to look for when encountering other typefaces. One suggestion: I'd like to be able to bring up verbal definitions to complement the visual examples under Definitions and Typeface Anatomy in the Terminology section. Also, I agree with a previous reviewer that a shorter name under the app's icon would look better. (Right now, the app shows up on iPad as Typogr...nsight.) But those are just quibbles. This is an very useful app and a pleasure to use.
JazGalaxy,
Very cool
I would not say that this is an instructional app, but rather a “cliffs notes” accessory that is EXTREMELY handy to have on-hand at all times. Very well done and well designed. All killer, no filler.
TJo2go,
Lousy
Useless app, and a typography app shouldn't have such ugly typographical errors.
M S Walker,
Great idea, poor execution
I'm not quite sure who this app is supposed to appeal to. There are a number of sections that would appear to be lessons about the fundamentals of typography, but they consist of little more than dictionary definitions of terms like 'font family' and pictures of fonts; seeing an example of a Humanist font doesn't mean anything when there's no explanatory text of what a Humanist font *is*. And if you know enough about typography to not need the explanation, you'll know enough to be outraged at the terrible rendering job of nearly all the type in the app, even on a Retina iPad. When you manually zoom in the text looks great, but at the default zoom level there is a disappointing level of poor visuals.
The one saving grace is the Type Inspector section, which is actually pretty nifty. It essentially lets you pick any of the default iOS fonts (a solid, if mundane collection) and look at all of its glyphs at enjoyably large zoom levels, all controlled with wonderfully smooth pinch-zoom gestures. Fortunately, since you're intended to zoom past the default zoom level, this feature manages to avoid the rendering issues the rest of the app's typography suffers from.

Veraxus,
Oh, to have had this in college!
This app is an AMAZING learning tool. It manages to condense an incredible amount of typographic information into a very elegant, simple interface. I cant imagine a more refined, intuitive, or educational presentation of this subject matter.
When I was learning about typography in college, we used these large, convoluted spiral-bound textbooks. If this app (or the iPad) had been available back then, it could have saved incredible amounts of time, frustration, and sanity.
Anyone interested in typography or graphic design NEEDS to have this app. It doesnt matter if your a student or a seasoned professional, this is a reference that you WILL find useful. For half the price of your morning coffee, it's a complete no-brainer.
