01Why it exists

After Effects' font menu is a small dropdown with small previews, and it can't tell you where a font is used in a project or swap it everywhere. Choosing type means guessing from a list, and a client changing the brand typeface means opening comp after comp.

Font shows every installed font drawn in its own face and previews it on your selected text as you hover. Switch to the Replace tab to see which comps use a font, jump to those layers and swap exactly the ones you mean.

02How it works
  1. Select your text

    Pick one or several text layers. The panel follows your selection.

  2. Hover to preview

    Move through the list and the title changes in your comp. Click or press Enter to keep it.

  3. Dial it in

    Set size, leading, tracking, kerning, colour and stroke. Drag a label to scrub, with the comp updating as you go.

  4. Replace across the project

    On the Replace tab, tick the fonts to swap, choose a target and click the tab again. One undo step.
