I can see the typography button in the top when using my computer, but can’t find this option anywhere on an iPad. 
 

I do see the glyph browser and finally found the (text > character > open type) menu but neither of these feel as intuitive as the Typography menu. Does it exist on the iPad? If not, will it? (At this point I do LOVE v2 except I miss how much easier typography was in my old version of designer).

If you're speaking of Designer on iPad, in V1 you had this:

And that leads you to this:

That gives you the buttons for some specific functions, and the button for OpenType.

Now, in V2, you have this:

And that leads to this, where the part I've marked is the same as in V1. To me, V1 and V2 are quite similar in those functions on the iPad. You may have a point that it's easier on desktop, but it's more appropriate to compare V2 iPad to V1 iPad, not to V1 desktop, I think.

you are right, actually. I had been griping about missing the old way before I found the open type menu… I had only seen the glyph browser. 
 

in any case, yes… I would prefer it to be as intuitive as the desktop version. That is what I meant.
