Dinamo Name Crawler
Everyone knows that a name is the most important part of a typeface. But finding a good name is difficult. Just like with web URLs, most good names are taken quickly. You don’t want to run around with a great font that has a poor name. It makes you both look like fools.
The Dinamo Name Crawler is here to help: It generates names based on your choice of characters. You can crawl the names you like for further information, derivatives, and language translations. Maybe a translation proves to be the better name, or the beginning of a new name crawl?

Font Gauntlet
Our Font Gauntlet allows you to animate your own variable fonts—to put them to the test (or as some might say, to let them run the gauntlet). Simply upload your file, press play, and then sit back and relax with an animated preview of all your font’s axes combining. Developed by Dinamo’s own Robert Janes.
Gauge Tool
This plugin for the Glyphs App transforms your mouse cursor into the shape of an oval—ideal for gauging the width of WIP strokes. Developed by Dinamo and Jedi Master Wei Huang.
