Is there a website/app/service that will ask you what features you want of a font and it will show you recommendations?

I prefer Font Bombhttp://fontbomb.ilex.ca/

dizzystar • Feb 6, 2013 • View on HN

Pretty cool tool, but is it possible to let me download the font-files since I'm presumably testing this for a webpage design?

The fonts are open and on github

windsurfer • Jul 18, 2014 • View on HN

Is there an example of a font that does this anywhere?
