Founder speaks,

“When I make a website I can go to a website like Google Fonts … but they’re very basic and I still have to browse,” Prototypo co-founder Louis-Rémi Babé told Mashable. “Instead I could just have a larger list of parameters right on the web page I’m designing.”

In Prototypo its all about exploring, tweaking, comparing and exporting. How cool is that?

The current features of the prototypo include a to z glyphs, svg fonts and pre-defined styles. Also it works on all major web browsers.
