Font Playground lets you view the same sample text in different fonts and sizes to help you choose fonts for your project.
You can preview preset text samples, or you can type or paste text. In addition, you can view samples as single lines of text or multiline text, and you can view a text sample as single lines of text in increasing font sizes.
When a text sample uses an OpenType font, you can view available OpenType features and apply them to the text sample.
Views from left to right: Single line, Multiline, and Waterfall
With text samples using OpenType fonts, you can select text to display the OpenType feature indicator and apply an Open Type feature. In this example, a stylistic set was applied to the selected text.
To view a text sample in context, you can paste it where you want in the drawing window.
