Preview fonts for a logo in a landing page mockup

You have a landing page mockup taking shape, but the logo still feels like a placeholder. The right font can help the brand name stand out without fighting the page’s headings, buttons, and other text.

Use the Installed Fonts tool to preview your own logo wording in fonts available on your computer. Compare the actual letter shapes before you settle on a typeface for the mockup.

Preview your logo in installed fonts

1. Open the Installed Fonts tool in Chrome or Edge on a computer. These browsers provide the full version of the tool. Other browsers may show a reduced version or no font list.
2. Enter or paste the exact name you want to use for the logo into the preview text area. Keep the spelling and capitalization you expect to use in the mockup.
3. Look through the font previews and compare a few candidates. Pay attention to the shapes of distinctive letters, such as a, g, R, or e, rather than judging a font by its name alone.
4. Repeat the comparison with another version of the name if your logo might use a different case, such as all caps or title case. Include numbers or punctuation if they are part of the brand name.

Make a short list of two or three candidates. You can then apply those fonts in your mockup tool and check how the logo sits with the rest of the landing page. The font preview helps you compare letterforms, but it does not create or export a finished logo.

What the font previews can tell you

The name is clear at a glance

Choose a font where the letters are easy to distinguish. At a quick glance, a tightly spaced wordmark can make similar shapes run together. Check pairs such as rn and m, or I, l, and 1 if your name includes them. A typeface that looks stylish in a large preview may be harder to read when the logo is reduced in the page header.

The font has a distinct personality

Compare the overall feel without relying only on broad labels like “modern” or “friendly.” Look at the letter width, the shape of curves, the angle of strokes, and whether the characters feel formal, playful, technical, or understated. Choose a font that supports the brand’s intended tone and still looks at home beside the rest of the page.

The lowercase and uppercase versions both work

A name in all caps can feel compact and strong, while lowercase can look more relaxed. The same font may behave differently in each version. Preview the capitalization you intend to use, then consider whether the alternate version could be needed for a mobile header, social profile, or other layout.

A character looks missing or wrong

The font may not include that character, or the browser may be displaying a substitute from another font. Check the same word in another candidate. If the name includes accented letters, symbols, or non-English characters, confirm those exact characters in the preview rather than assuming the font supports them.

What to do if a font is missing

1. Check which browser you are using. Open the tool in Chrome or Edge on a computer. Installed Fonts relies on browser support for access to local fonts, and other browsers may show only part of the list or none of it.
2. Check that the font is installed. On Windows 11, open Settings › Personalization › Fonts and look for the font family. On macOS, open the Font Book app and search for the font. A font file that is only saved in your downloads folder may not be installed for use by other apps.
3. Allow local font access if the browser asks. If a permission prompt appears, allow access for the page so it can list fonts on your computer. If you previously blocked access, check the site’s permissions from the icon beside the address bar, then reload the page.
4. Restart the browser after installing a font. Close and reopen Chrome or Edge, then load the tool again. Some browsers do not update their available font list until a new session starts.
5. Check the font in your mockup app. If the font appears in the browser preview but not in the app you use for the landing page, quit and reopen that app. If it still does not appear, confirm that the installed font file and the app support the same font format.

Check the logo at its real size

A font preview is a useful shortlist, not a final layout test. After choosing a candidate, place it in the landing page mockup and view the page at the size people are likely to see. Check the logo in the main header and at a narrower mobile width. Make sure the name remains legible and does not crowd the navigation or a nearby button.

Also compare the logo with the page’s heading font. Using the same typeface for both can make the design feel consistent, while a contrasting logo font can give the brand more emphasis. Keep the contrast deliberate: if both fonts have very strong shapes, they may compete for attention.

The tool previews fonts available on your computer. It does not tell you whether a font’s license permits logo use, whether visitors to your site will have that font installed, or how the finished logo will render in every design app. Check the font license before using it in a public brand asset, and verify the final mockup in the software where you plan to build it.

The font list and your preview text are handled in the browser on your device.
