FOIT / FOUT Simulator

See exactly what your users see while a webfont is loading — and pick the right font-display strategy.

Runs entirely in your browser — no upload, no registration.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Typography sets the tone of everything you build. When webfonts arrive late, your users see either nothing (FOIT) or your fallback (FOUT) — pick the failure that hurts your product least.

Rendering with: 'Playfair Display',serif · loaded: false

What this tool does

Simulates the three CSS font-display behaviours (block=FOIT, swap=FOUT, fallback) with an adjustable loading delay.

Why you might need it

Choosing the wrong font-display value costs you either LCP (block) or CLS (swap). This is the fastest way to feel the trade-off.

How to use it

  1. Pick a font.
  2. Choose a strategy.
  3. Set a delay to simulate a slow network.
  4. Click 'Reload' to replay.

Always review the included licence before commercial use. Do not remove copyright records, designer names, licensing metadata or embedding restrictions from any font you process.
