The project of a mobile device digital type specimen based on Aquafadas software

In mobile media, there are many interesting apps about typography, but only few are equipped with tools that allow exploring the important role of typography in graphic design. This article presents several examples of digital typeface catalogues. Based on these examples and tools of Aquafadas DPS and Adobe InDesign software, an original app SPECIMEN for tablets has been created. For this purpose, 15 different typefaces have been chosen. The created app presents all the characteristics of type-faces and possibilities of their use. The E-catalogue also contains the information about the available license, which is important when planning the purchase. The information about the languages of prepared sets of characters is presented. An equally important part about the designers includes short biographical notes, lists other important typefaces designed by them and links to the websites where one can find many more interesting, completed projects. This project has been tested, and on the basis of it, there have been made a number of proposals and described advantages and disadvantages of the Aquafadas DPS software
