Font Interceptor is a quirky and creative tool designed to intercept the fonts used on any website and save them for personal use. Developed by MSCHF, this unconventional project flips the traditional rules of font licensing by offering a playful way for users to access and experiment with the typography they encounter online. The tool cleverly bridges technical capability with a satirical critique of font monetization and copyright restrictions.
It’s not just a tool; it’s a commentary on accessibility, design, and ownership in the digital world. Font Interceptor appeals to designers, typographers, and curious individuals looking to explore and understand web typography more freely. While intended for experimentation, it also sparks conversations about intellectual property in design.
