The fastest way to lose trust in a font is shipping one with avoidable defects. A 5-minute QA pass protects hours of brand work.

Visual QA pass

  • Confirm baseline alignment in repeated lowercase strings
  • Scan for unexpected spikes in curves and joins
  • Check punctuation and numerals in realistic UI labels

Functional QA pass

Install the font on at least two operating systems and test in one design tool and one document editor. Rendering behavior can differ across environments.
