Hey all, I have been working on a typography extension to make it easier for developers and designers to pick and demo different fonts.

I wanted to share the latest feature I worked on that allows you to compare fonts side-by-side in your own website making it easier to pick better fonts.

Right now, it's available for chromium based browsers (Chrome, edge etc), but will soon work add Firefox and safari support.

Thank you for checking it out.

FYI, you have a typo near the beginning of that page:

"Texts makes up 80% of your UI."

should be:

"Text makes up..."

I also found it quite ironic that the "Typography defines Your brand" header is immediately followed by "Want to transform your brand’s image?", in which the apostrophe has some very broken spacing/kerning.
