Swap your font for one you can actually ship

SwapMyFont is a browser-based tool that finds close Google Font substitutes for a reference font. It ranks alternatives using contour, width, x-height, and ink metrics, then shows per-glyph proof for your actual sample text.

Most lists guess based on category or designer opinion. SwapMyFont compares glyph shapes and spacing metrics on your sample string, highlights missing characters, and surfaces license guidance so you can document a substitute before shipping.

Yes. Uploaded fonts are processed locally in your browser and are not sent to a server. Use your sample text — brand names, headlines, or UI strings — to see where substitutes match or diverge.

Many Google Fonts use the SIL Open Font License or Apache License, which allow commercial use. SwapMyFont shows plain-language license badges, but this is guidance only — always verify the license before shipping client work.

Glyph proof is a per-character visual comparison between your reference font and a substitute candidate. SwapMyFont overlays outlines and scores each character in your sample text so you can see where a match is close enough to ship.

SwapMyFont focuses on Latin coverage in v0.1. Always check character coverage warnings for currency symbols, numerals, punctuation, and extended Latin before choosing a substitute for international brands.
