How to Search and Browse Typefaces on UNCUT.wtf

UNCUT.wtf is a free typeface catalogue with 163 typefaces, and you can browse it in two ways: by category (Sans Serif, Serif, Monospace, Display) or by using the search box on the catalogue page. Both work together with a Grid/List view toggle, so you can narrow the catalogue by style and then switch layouts depending on whether you want to scan visually or read names in a list.

What the catalogue contains

The site describes itself as a free typeface catalogue focused on somewhat contemporary type. The category counts shown on the page are:

These four categories add up to 163, matching the stated total, so every typeface on the site falls into one of them. There is no separate "all" count listed, but the four category totals cover the full catalogue.

Browse by category

1. Open the UNCUT.wtf catalogue page.
2. Find the category labels — Sans Serif, Serif, Monospace, Display — each shown with its count and a "Close" control.
3. Select the category that matches the style you need. For example, choose Monospace if you are looking for a coding or technical typeface, or Display if you need something for headlines.
4. Expected result: the catalogue narrows to that category's typefaces.

The "Close" label next to each category count suggests the categories act as filters you can open and dismiss rather than as separate pages. If a category is already applied, use its Close control to remove the filter and return to the wider catalogue.

Use the search box

The page includes a Search control alongside the Grid/List toggle. Type a typeface name or a term into it to filter the catalogue directly. This is the faster route when you already know what you are looking for, while category browsing suits the case where you only know the style you want.

A practical sequence: start with a category to cut 163 typefaces down to a manageable set, then use search within that narrowed view if you have a partial name in mind. If search returns nothing useful, close the category filter and search again across the full catalogue.

Switch between Grid and List views

The Grid/List control changes how results are displayed, not which results appear:

• Grid view shows typefaces as visual tiles, which helps when you are judging letterforms and overall look.
• List view shows them in a linear list, which helps when you want to read names quickly or work through many entries in order.

Switch views after filtering rather than before, so you are only comparing layouts on the set you actually care about.

Common sticking points

• Counts don't match what you see. The numbers next to each category are the catalogue's stated totals; if a filter is active, the visible set will be smaller than the total.
• Search seems to do nothing. Check whether a category filter is still applied — a search term that exists outside the current category won't surface until you close that filter.
• You can't tell if a typeface is usable. The site presents itself as a free typeface catalogue, but licensing terms for individual typefaces are not described on the catalogue page itself. Check the details for each typeface before using it in a project.
