This is a very nice new interface, but it needs some more options. Specifically, I liked being able to browse fonts tagged with “Geometric” or “Modern” or “Humanist”. The broad classifications don’t allow me to get as specific as I want sometimes.

In reply to Dan Beltechi (@beltechi). Yes, we're planning to add more languages; I don't have a date for when that might be available, but it's on our list.

Great stuff, Typekit team. The interface is beautiful. Any chance of adding new languages in the ‘language support’ section? I’m thinking about Romanian specifically, as I know certain fonts in your library support it. Thanks.

Great work guys. I really hope that Adobe has the good sense to just let you keep doing the awesome stuff you’ve been doing.

Really a big step forward for you guys. Nice work!

One criticism, though. The interface is a large percentage of the screen real estate. Any chance we can get a minimized version of the interface that allows the beautiful typefaces to own more of the pixels?

(Also, for those of us who love to pair fonts when browsing, I’d love to be able to browse with more than one Classification checked.)

Good points. The all caps one is to filter those fonts that are “caps only”, like Trajan on the right. That would actually be a better term.

Congrats on this, Typekit. Huge improvement and a lesson for other font sellers.
