LargeType2 requires macOS 10.13 or later.

Source code available on github.


LargeType2 is ultimately inspired by the Address Book "Large Type" phone numbers feature. The original LargeType (by Cold Pizza Software) was abandoned, so LargeType2 reproduces its functionality on modern machines.

This program was originally called "aLgrTepy2e" (it was a little-endian joke). It had the disadvantage of being unpronounceable.
