MainType 13 released - May 21, 2025

We’re thrilled to announce MainType 13, a major update that introduces a brand-new way to browse your library and a host of workflow-boosting refinements.

The most impressive changes are:

  • New Grid View: Easily switch between the new grid view and the existing details view
  • Export Groups with Folder Structure: Right-click any Group to export fonts while preserving the original folder hierarchy
  • Updated Unicode Support: Now fully updated to Unicode version 17
  • Refreshed Foundry List: new installations only
  • Improved support for OpenType layout features
  • Improved theme support
  • Improved usability

Grid View

Instantly switch from the classic Details View to the new Grid View and back again. Browse your collection as large, uniform thumbnails—or dive into the familiar tree-style list—whenever it suits your workflow.

Export Groups with Folder Structure

Right-click any group and export its fonts while keeping the original folder hierarchy intact—perfect for handing off projects or archiving.

Behind the scenes, MainType 13 polishes the entire experience: fresh installs pull in an updated foundry list; the shaping engine has been improved, so kerning, alternates, and complex scripts behave exactly as designers expect. Interface translations cover more languages, and a host of subtle usability tweaks make everyday font management feel smoother than ever.
