Fontaine is a TypeScript library that automatically generates font fallbacks based on font metrics to reduce layout shift (CLS). It computes metric-compatible fallback fonts so text renders consistently while web fonts load.

Use cases

  • reduce cumulative layout shift from web font loading
  • generate metric-compatible font fallbacks automatically
  • improve web vitals scores for font rendering
  • avoid text reflow when custom fonts swap in
  • optimize font loading in build pipelines

When to choose

  • your site suffers CLS from font swapping
  • you want automatic fallback font generation at build time
  • you need metric-compatible fallbacks without manual font metric work

When to avoid

  • you don't load custom web fonts
  • you need full font subsetting or optimization rather than fallbacks
  • your project is not in a Node.js/JavaScript build environment
